FastNewSmile’s 3D CT Scan

Here at FastNewSmile® Dental Implant Center in Dallas, Texas, we use the highest grade of technology when it comes to our 3D CT Scan machine. The iCAT allows us to take a 3D scan of the patient’s cranium and allows us to see the bone quality in the patient’s zygoma and their upper and lower jaw. When patients come in for a consultation they meet with Dr. Almasri and get to view their x-ray and see where the implants are going to be placed.

What is a 3d-CT Scan [Cone Beam CBCT Scanner]?

Cone Beam CBCT scanners are smaller-sized machines compared to the regular CT scanners that are available at hospitals & major diagnostic scanning centers. CBCT scanners are mostly available at the clinicians’, doctors’, or dentists’ offices. FastNewSmile® Dental Implant Center in the Dallas-Fort Worth area utilizes CBCT scanners to aid us in our many dental implant procedures.

Once the scanning process starts, the “arm”, which contains the x-ray source, rotates around your head. While the arm is rotating, it captures multiple images of your head from different angles. These images are then reconstructed to create a 3D image of your internal anatomy.
