CBCT Scan

Cone-beam computed tomography, also referred to as CBCT scan, is an imaging system that captures the images from different angles. Dental professionals use it to attain 3D images of the teeth, mouth, and jaw. CBCT captures 150-200 images of the mouth in less than a minute with utmost accuracy. At Vita Dental, dentists utilize it for patients who require dental treatments like dental implants.

How is the CBCT scan procedure performed?

CBCT is a square-shaped scanner that has an x-ray source and detector. It is mounted on the opposite sides of the rotating chair, which has a rotating C-arm. The patient is made to sit on the dental chair according to the position of the CBCT. The detector of the device rotates 360 degrees and captures multiple images of the mouth from different angles.

The patient needs to remain still during the procedure to produce precise images. Both the X-ray source and the detector rotates in unison, generating 150 to 200 high-resolution images of the mouth. The detail structures are captured in less than a minute, which can be combined to form the 3D image. The images can be obtained digitally and printed as per the requirement for further references.

General Dentistry

Good oral health not only helps give you a beautiful smile but a healthy body as well. Along with your daily oral care routine, regular visits to your dentist will help maintain your teeth and address any problems that may occur.

General dentistry services offered by Vita Dental include mouth exams and cleanings, X-rays to check for decay, screenings for oral cancer, and treatments to cure problems detected in the exams. The treatments can include restorative procedures such as fillings, root canals, gum disease treatment, simple cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening and veneers, etc. They can also provide orthodontic treatments such as braces, mouth guards, and dentures.

Here are some general dentistry services in detail :

Comprehensive Examination

The main focus of general dentistry is to keep patients in excellent oral health. To ensure this, comprehensive examinations are conducted to detect any warning signs of decay or gum disease. Identifying problems in the early stages will enable our dentist to provide quick treatment before the condition worsens and causes discomfort.

Cavity Prevention with Dental Sealants

A general dentist can reduce the chances of you or your children getting cavities by applying dental sealants. During this procedure, the dentist will conduct an examination and determine whether the ridges on the chewing surfaces of the teeth have stuck food particles and bacteria, which can lead to the formation of cavities. A plastic-like coating called the sealants is applied on the teeth’s surfaces, and it dramatically reduces the development of cavities.

Gum Disease Treatment

Gum disease is a common problem that affects most people at some point in their lifetime. Routine dental care will prevent severe cases of gum disease because the general dentist will immediately perform deep cleansing at seeing the first signs of it. This is done by removing plaque and tartar from around and under your gums.

Fluoride Treatments

This procedure is an integral part of preventative dentistry because when fluoride is placed on the teeth, it helps strengthen them. The fluoride treatment helps fight natural erosion and keeps teeth strong enough to fight off bacteria.

Antibiotic Mouth Rinse

As part of the preventative dentistry services, your entire family can be provided with an antibiotic mouth rinse. This assists in eliminating some of the harmful bacteria in your mouth.

Remedy for Bad Breath

Most people do not realize that the source of their constant bad breath is bacteria present in their mouth, decay, or infections. By cleaning your teeth and treating any issues, a general dentist can help improve your breath.
