If you’re considering upgrading to a dental cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) machine, one of the first things you should consider before getting started is cost. While prices have become a lot more affordable since the early days of CBCT thanks to increased competition (to meet increased demand) CBCT systems still represent sizable investments that require proper planning and consideration.
Vatech America has been providing innovative imaging technologies to dental professionals across the country since 2005. Their goal has always been to enhance the quality of patient care at every step. From launching the world’s first 3-in-1 digital X-ray system to a 41-layer digital panoramic radiograph, Vatech is one of the world’s premier dental imaging companies.
Across the country, more and more dentists are embracing dental cone beam (CBCT) technology in their practices, oftentimes upgrading a panoramic X-ray machine to CBCT. The 3D imaging capability of a CBCT machine allows for greater in-office clinical capabilities as well as more rapid treatment planning and case acceptance. If your practice is looking to attract new patients and retain your current patients, an investment in advanced imaging technology can help you accomplish your growth goals.
As the most common type of dental X-ray, the bitewing provides significant information for dentists to diagnose common dental conditions and aid in customized treatment planning for each patient. Besides showing clear images of the teeth and roots, a bitewing X-ray also shows occlusal positioning. Performing bitewing X-rays typically involves taking up to four images with a digital sensor or dental film to isolate certain areas. With the extraoral bitewing feature common in modern panorex X-ray systems, these concerns are a thing of the past.
Renew Digital offers a wide variety of 3D cone beam enabled and 3D upgradeable panoramic X-ray and panoramic + ceph combination machines. Practices on a budget often ask us if it makes sense to buy a 3D upgradeable panoramic unit and upgrade later or go ahead and purchase a 3D enabled dental X-ray machine right now. The correct answer will be different for every practice, but here are some tips to help.
Sharing large dental cone beam scans can be a difficult and cumbersome process for some dental and dental specialty practices.
