New Technology For Jessamine Family Dentistry
With the addition of a digital panoramic x-ray in our Nicholasville office and a Dental CT scan in our Winchester office, we now have the best and safest diagnostic capabilities available for our patients.
We are pleased to announce the addition of the Prexion 3D imaging Dental CBCT Scan to our Winchester location.
CBCT is a relatively new technology for dentistry that is used for three-dimensional imagining of the teeth and jaws. It greatly enhances the diagnosis and treatment planning for dental implants, root canals, oral surgery and sleep medicine. It has a much lower x-ray dosage than traditional CT scans and the images are of a higher quality and very accurate.
Unlike traditional x-rays, the cone beat CT scan can scan both bones and soft tissue. This scan provides incredible detail in order to properly treatment plan for root canals,, implant surgery and sleep disorders.
