Accurate imaging is essential for diagnosing and planning effective dental treatments. At Vibe Dental, we use cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) with the KaVo OP 3D system to capture detailed, three-dimensional views of the teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures. Our dentists and team provide precise diagnostics using this technology to support comprehensive care.
Benefits of Cone Beam Imaging
The KaVo OP 3D cone beam system delivers high-resolution images with lower radiation exposure compared to traditional medical CT scans. This imaging method produces a full 3D view of the oral and maxillofacial region, offering superior accuracy for planning surgical, restorative and orthodontic treatments.
Benefits of CBCT imaging include:
- Precise, 3D visualization of bone and tissue structures
- Reduced radiation dose with focused scanning options
- Improved diagnosis of conditions not visible in 2D X-rays
- Enhanced planning for implants, extractions and root treatments
- Quick scan time and comfortable patient positioning
This technology allows for more detailed treatment planning and better identification of anatomical features, improving both safety and predictability in dental procedures.
How KaVo OP 3D Enhances Diagnosis
Dr. Justin Palmer, Dr. Daniel Lyu and Dr. Aaron Stroh use the KaVo OP 3D system to evaluate bone density, locate nerves and identify abnormalities that may not be seen on traditional radiographs. The system captures the full dental arch and allows for multiple viewing angles without distortion.
This level of detail is especially valuable for assessing complex cases such as impacted teeth, TMJ disorders, sinus pathology and bone structure for implant placement. The ability to rotate and analyze the digital images in three dimensions gives our dentists a clearer understanding of each patient’s anatomy.
Patient Comfort and Safety
The KaVo OP 3D system is designed with patient comfort and safety in mind. Its open design reduces feelings of claustrophobia and allows patients to sit or stand comfortably during the scan. The scan takes less than a minute, and the data is immediately available for review, allowing our team to explain findings and options right away. This imaging method is also suitable for patients with limited mobility and accommodates a wide range of diagnostic needs in a single appointment.
