CBCT 3D Imaging in Coquitlam

CBCT 3D Imaging

At Lougheed Family Dental, we are always looking for ways to improve our dental practice and provide even better care for our patients. That is why we have invested in a CBCT imaging system. It features breakthrough innovations that enable us to scan our patients quickly, accurately and comfortably. The machine enables us to obtain the 2D and 3D images we need without requiring you to visit an outside imaging center.

We want to emphasize that we follow every precaution to minimize patient exposure to radiation whenever we obtain images for diagnosis and treatment. We strictly adheres to the ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable) principle. The system’s high-power generator allows us to acquire high-quality images at a lower dose to the patient than other imaging systems.

The system also allows us to target the exact area for exposure so that other tissues around the mouth will not be unnecessarily irradiated—which is another way the system limits the patient’s radiation exposure.

Our CBCT machine features high image resolutions, which provides us with an unprecedented level of anatomical insight and enables us to diagnose more confidently. The sharp, highly detailed and contrasted images provide patients with a unique view of their dental structures and helps them see exactly what our doctors sees. Patients can then feel more comfortable with their treatment decisions.

All these features and functions result in better information, safer scans and more informed diagnoses. We feel that this new imaging system helps us significantly enhance what matters to us most: patient care
