Many dentists and dental specialists have come to realize the great benefits of having an in-office cone beam dental machine. Not only can it offer you more diagnostic options than standard 2D panoramic imaging, it can also enhance patient confidence and communication and increase treatment acceptance. Here are few of the top benefits of cone beam dental machines for both practitioners and patients alike.
You would think by now that most dental practices have made the move to digital panorex X-ray systems. But every day here at Renew Digital, we speak with practices that are still capturing X-rays using traditional film. In fact, a recent blog post cites that 66% of dentists use digital X-rays. That means that nearly 34% of dentists still use film!
The latest advancements in technology have allowed for more and more dental practices to upgrade from film to digital dental X-ray machines. And, in recent years, we’ve even seen a huge push from 2D digital X-ray machines to cone beam. This is great news for patients who are getting better diagnoses and treatment plans thanks to the additional information available to practitioners through these higher-quality images.
The rise in availability and affordability of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has expanded the functions of the general dental practice. Thanks to the wide range of features and the ability to extend or limit the 3D field of view, practitioners can increase their diagnostic and treatment planning capabilities. Additionally, integrating 3D imaging allows you to include specialized treatments such as orthodontics, endodontics, periodontics, and implant placements in your practice. Still wondering if CBCT is right for you? Let’s take an in-depth look.
Are you looking for a better solution to conventional dental impressions? Are you considering re-purposing the current area you’re using for storing the impressions into more productive space? Are you reluctant to purchase a cone beam system for fear of spending more than $100,000 for a quality device? If you answered “yes” to all of these questions, a certified pre-owned Carestream Kodak CS 9300 3D or CS 8100 3D system may be exactly what you’re looking for.
Although some patients may have concerns about radiation exposure during a dental appointment, the amount of radiation dentists use is so insignificant that many patients consider it an afterthought. When explaining dental X-ray machine radiation to patients, dental practitioners sometimes compare dental radiation dose to the amount of natural radiation a patient may receive from a few minutes lounging at the beach or traveling on an airplane. This helps patients better understand the risks of dental imaging vs. the rewards of maintaining proper dental health.
