Why 3D Imaging Matters for Dental Implants
The success of dental implants is significantly influenced by the quality and density of your jawbone. When a tooth is lost, the bone in that area naturally deteriorates over time. This bone loss can complicate implant placement and affect the long-term stability of your prosthetic (crown, bridge, or denture).
At Perfect Pearls, we prioritise thorough assessment to ensure you have sufficient bone for successful implants. Our state-of-the-art CT scanner allows us to precisely evaluate your bone structure, enabling us to plan the most effective and safe treatment.
Is the CT scan painful or uncomfortable?
No, the CT scan is completely painless and non-invasive. You simply stand or sit still while the scanner rotates around your head. The entire process is quick and comfortable.
How long does a CT scan take?
The actual scanning process typically takes only a few seconds to a minute. The entire appointment, including preparation, is usually very brief.
What are the benefits of the CT Scanner?
- Specially designed for dental use
- Produces an accurate 3D image of your mouth
