- For some people, there are varying degrees of discomfort or pain, which subsides in a couple of days.

Cutting Edge Technology: CBCT Scan
Before a dental implant procedure is performed, there’s extensive planning that takes place. Part of this planning process is getting x-rays in order to properly identify the implant site.
The problem with using this traditional imaging method is that it visualizes a 3D object in only 2 dimensions, missing critical information as a result.
In our offices, we use the most advanced technology on the market to create a 3D visualization of your teeth, jaw, and bone structure. It entails a CBCT scan (Cone-Beam Computed Tomography), equipment utilized by less than 1% of dentists.
In fact, many dental implant specialists around the state send their patients to our office specifically for this imaging technology.
