Experience Advanced Dental Imaging at John Street Dental Redcliffe!

At John Street Dental Redcliffe, we’re thrilled to announce that our clinic is now equipped with the latest in dental imaging technology—a state-of-the-art CBCT/OPG machine! This cutting-edge equipment allows us to take precise and detailed images of your mouth, ensuring we can plan your dental treatments with the highest level of accuracy.

What Is the CBCT/OPG Machine?

OPG (Orthopantomogram)

Purpose: The OPG machine captures a panoramic X-ray of your entire mouth, including both the upper and lower jaws. This image includes your teeth, jawbones, and surrounding structures, offering a broad view of your dental health.

Function: The OPG provides crucial information about the position of your teeth, bone levels, and any potential abnormalities. It’s an essential tool for various dental assessments, such as:

• Planning orthodontic treatments
• Evaluating the positioning and development of wisdom teeth
• Detecting issues such as cysts, tumours, or other anomalies

CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography)

Purpose: The CBCT machine offers three-dimensional (3D) imaging, which provides highly detailed views of the bones, teeth, nerve pathways, and soft tissues in the craniofacial region.

Function: CBCT is particularly useful in more complex cases where detailed imaging is required. It is an invaluable tool for:

• Planning dental implants
• Assessing the quality and density of the jawbone
• Evaluating the sinuses before surgery
• Detecting impacted teeth
• Planning for intricate surgical procedures

The 3D imaging provided by CBCT is essential for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning, allowing us to offer the highest standard of care.

Why Is This Important for You?

This advanced imaging technology allows us to tailor dental treatments specifically to your needs, ensuring precision and efficiency. Whether you’re undergoing routine check-ups or more complex procedures, the CBCT/OPG machine helps us to diagnose and plan with unmatched accuracy.

What to Expect During Your CBCT or OPG Scan

Having your CBCT or OPG taken is a straightforward and comfortable process. You’ll be asked to stand or sit still while the machine moves around your head, capturing detailed images. The process is quick, non-invasive, and vital for maintaining and monitoring your oral health.
