CBCT Referrals

One of the latest pieces of equipment we have in our South Vancouver dental clinic is a cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) machine. This advanced X-ray machine captures multiple pictures of a patient’s teeth, bone, soft tissue, and nerve pathways and pieces these pictures together to form a clear and detailed 3D image. This type of scan is ideal for times when a regular dental X-ray can’t provide a satisfactory view of the area.

CBCT scans also offer a number of benefits to the patient. It’s painless, noninvasive, and provides several views and angles for a more complete evaluation by our dentist Vancouver, BC. Some of the common uses for a CBCT scan include creating a plan for computer-guided implant surgery, diagnosing airway sleep disorders, putting together a plan for surgically fixing impacted teeth, and creating a plan for reconstructive surgery.

When we offer specialty services from our dentists in New Westminster, BC to other dentists in the area, it’s only to help out specialty patients, not to gain more general patients. This means that the specialists here at our New Westminster dental clinic see your patients strictly for the specialty procedure they need. When the procedure is complete, your patients are sent back to your clinic for the rest of their care. If there are any other treatments that we think are necessary, we communicate this with you. Thanks to this policy, you can have confidence knowing your patients will always be within your care.
