Cone Beam Computerized Tomography (CBCT) / CT scan (CAT scan) at Brian Dental Care

Discover the Next Level of Dental Care with Dr. Brian D. Kim

At Brian Dental Care, we believe every patient deserves precise, comfortable, and advanced dental treatment. That’s why Dr. Brian D. Kim uses state-of-the-art technology including Cone Beam Computerized Tomography (CBCT), also known as a CT or CAT scan- to provide the highest level of accuracy and safety in every procedure.

Because of the growing demand for Dr. Kim’s expertise in implant and surgical dentistry, our office offers this advanced 3D imaging system to ensure exceptional care and outstanding results.

What Is a CBCT / CT Scan?

A CBCT (CT Scan) is a special type of digital X-ray that captures multiple images from different angles and combines them into a detailed 3D model of your teeth, jawbone, and surrounding structures. It reveals important anatomy such as nerves and sinuses- all while using low radiation and taking only a few seconds.

This quick, comfortable, and non-invasive scan helps Dr. Kim make precise diagnoses and create the most effective treatment plans, often eliminating the need for exploratory procedures.

Why Is CBCT Important in Modern Dentistry?

1. Oral Surgery & Wisdom Teeth Removal

3D imaging allows us to locate the lower jaw nerve relative to wisdom teeth, reducing the risk of nerve injury and ensuring safer, more predictable extractions.

2. Dental Implants

For successful implant placement, it’s essential to know the bone height, width, quality, and angulation, as well as the location of nearby anatomy. CBCT provides accurate information for precise and long-lasting results.

3. Orthodontics

We can view unerupted or impacted teeth in 3D, helping plan orthodontic treatments with greater confidence and precision.

4. Root Canal Treatment (Endodontics)

By identifying all root canals before starting treatment, CBCT enables Dr. Kim to perform root canal procedures more effectively and with fewer surprises.
