Imaging
Tri-City Endodontics has the very best
radiographic imaging
in dentistry. Digital radiograph sensors are used to take x-rays and this has several advantages. The image quality produced is excellent, while the radiation dose is greatly reduced compared to conventional non-digital x-rays. In addition, no development of the x-rays is required and the images are available to view on our computer monitors just in a few seconds. I will spend the time to discuss your x-rays with you so you understand any potential problems that may exist.
To supplement the conventional x-rays, we utilize a cone-beam computed tomography scanner (or CBCT) to take very powerful 3-D images when needed. This unit allows me to see your teeth and surrounding bone in greater detail, which aids in diagnosis as well as during treatment. Once again these images can be displayed on our computer monitor and I can show you the various aspects of the imaging to allow you to visualize any issues with your teeth. In addition, if you or your dentist would like a copy of the 3-D imaging, we can quickly make you a disc with the images available to view at any time.

CBCT 3 Dimensional Technology
Focused field cone beam computerized tomography (CBCT)
allows complete visualization in all three planes of the tooth/bone with ultra low radiation. A typical CBCT scan produces about the same amount of radiation as 3 digital dental x-rays.
Although much information can be obtained from a quick glance at a 2 dimensional radiograph, a CBCT 3 dimensional scan must be properly oriented and manipulated to be able to extract the valuable information from it. Dr. Parhar has been using CBCT imaging for 8 years and has a great deal of experience in understanding the imaging, which is paramount to gaining accurate information to aid in diagnosis and treatment.
