Dental Cat Scan
The 3D CAT scan provides more accurate three-dimensional and cross sectional views than traditional X-rays, allowing the Smile Implant Centers Surgical and Restorative Team to:
We at Smile Implant Super Center are excited to offer to our patients the most advanced oral x-ray technology in the world, conveniently available right within our office.
Smile Implant Super Center utilizes a cutting edge scanner called an i-CAT to acquire 3-D CT scans of our patients’ maxillofacial anatomy, specifically for dental purposes. At the current time, there are only a few hundred i-CATs in the entire world, and only a handful in Southern California.
Computer guided dental implant surgery streamlines the treatment process and provides the patient with permanent teeth in record time. The system combines a unique planning program, a surgical template and the immediate load concept. CT Scans and 3-D imaging software are used to assess bone structure and map out the areas of best integrity. Computer-guided implant surgery provides greater patient satisfaction and simplifies the dental implant treatment process. You will feel comfortable knowing thaSmile Implant Super Center will handle every step of your tooth replacement, including planning, surgical placement and restoration. We offer the convenience of a one stop Super Center Location.
The i-CAT uses cone beam volumetric technology to create 3-D data sets which identically replicate the anatomy of the head and neck in a 1:1 ratio. This data greatly assists the Doctors at Smile Implant Center in evaluating implant placement and restoration options, discovering pathologies, planning orthodontic procedures, aiding in extractions and analyzing airway capacity. The i-CAT provides this wealth of information in 20 seconds, with minimal radiation, making it an invaluable resource to our team.
Adding to the value of your scan, is a comprehensive reading of your entire data set by an Implantologist. After your scan has been taken you will receive a consultation at Smile Implant Super Center discussing your scan and explaining any findings and recommendations. We feel this service will enhance even more, the level of care you receive at Smile Implant Centers Super Implant Center.
At Smile Implant Super Center, patient care is the number one priority, that is why we utilize state-of the-art technology! We are proud to provide the I-CAT Cone Beam 3-D Dental CAT SCAN Imaging System technology to our patients!. This state-of-the-art digital imaging system is an advanced X-ray solution, offering a higher level of patient care not previously possible with traditional efforts.
The i-CAT's Cone Beam 3-D Imaging System provides high-definition, digital CAT SCANS at reduced cost with less radiation than that of a traditional hospital CAT SCAN to the patient and a typical scan time of only 20 seconds with the patient seated in an open environment. The i-CAT's computer controlled software delivers quick & easy reconstruction of critical anatomical information typically in under 1 minute.
The I-CAT emits less than half the amount of radiation than that of earlier X-ray procedures while delivering high quality 3-D images of a patient's anatomy, providing the most complete view of a patient's mouth, face and jaw available. The data is then transferred to a computer in a mere 20 seconds and displayed within a 3-D image for immediate dental analysis.
The I-CAT is especially beneficial for implant patients as it produces cross-sectional (sliced) views. This allows Smile Implant Super Center to measure the exact dimension and bone quality with amazing precision, which is crucial in assuring an accurate and predictable surgery. And perhaps the most important benefit the I-CAT offers to our patients is absolute peace of mind in the knowledge that Smile Implant Centerhas this powerful information at hand to make a proper diagnosis and treatment plan matched to your special needs.
The easy to use i-CAT has become the leader in Cone Beam 3-D images by producing more thorough three dimensional views of all oral and maxillofacial structures. Patients remain seated in an 'open environment scan', which increases patient comfort and caputres the natural orientation of anatomy. The data is transferred to a computer, typically within minutes and displayed on an intuitive 3-D mapping tool that allows doctors and technicians to easily format and select desired 'slices' for immediate viewing. The i-CAT creates 3-D images with considerably less radiation than traditional Fan Beam Computed Tomography systems. Our Patients say it is extremely gratifying to know that Smile Implant Super Center is using 3-D imaging technology to benefit their patients. The i-cat provides Smile Implant Super Center with more accurate anatomical information than they could possibly capture with X-ray films or traditional scans, without having to inconvenience patients by sending them out to a hospital for CT scans. Now Smile Implant Super Center can increase their patients' comfort by sharing their 3-D digital images to explain diagnoses, treatments and expected outcomes, in one convenient visit. No other in-office X-ray imaging system comes close to the i-CAT."
