How Cone Technology Levels Up Dentistry

Oct. 15 2023

The field of dentistry has experienced incredible advancements in recent years, creating game-changing approaches for how dental professionals diagnose and treat various oral health issues.

Among these innovations, dental cone beam technology has emerged as a powerful new tool. This modern approach empowers dentists with more accurate and comprehensive views of patients' dental structures. At Implant and General Dentistry of Long Island, you’ll find excellent uses of this technology to improve patient outcomes.

Cone Beam Technology: A 3D Glimpse Into Oral Health

At the office of Dean Glasser, DDS, the X-Guide Dynamic 3D Navigation System is an excellent example of cone beam technology.

With this amazing tool for 3D imaging, Dr. Glasser can leverage real-time data during patient treatment. This results in controlled and more precise implant placement. Benefits include heightened precision and control for implant placement, promoting successful long-term outcomes. Real-time data ensures immediate chairside information, eliminating guesswork during placement.

Basic Applications in Dentistry

The applications of cone beam technology are extensive. One of its primary uses is in creating accurate three-dimensional images of teeth and jaws. This gives dentists a comprehensive view with which to diagnose problems like dental decay, impacted teeth, and jaw misalignments. This technology can also assist in planning procedures such as tooth extractions, enhancing these procedures’ precision and success rates.

Advanced Dental Solutions

Cone beam technology extends its benefits beyond diagnostics, however. It allows the creation of digital models of teeth, resulting in more precise presentations for patients and the design of dental appliances like braces and implants. This digitized approach allows for enhanced communication between dentists and patients.
