Dr. David Kim may use a CT scanner to examine your teeth and their supporting structures more closely. These CT scans help our dentist and team determine the right type of treatment for your needs and planning your care so that it will be as effective and comfortable as possible. To schedule an appointment at Dr. Kim Family Dentistry and learn more about CT scanners in Hanford, California, call us today at 559-585-1519.
CT scans are similar to standard X-rays in that they produce and image of your teeth and mouth. However, they are different from regular X-rays because they produce a 3D image, allowing our dentist to look inside your teeth, jawbone and in some cases your airway. This type of image is important in diagnosing a number of dental conditions, as well as in treatment planning.
Our dentist may recommend a dental CT scan if:
- You need or have had a bone grafting treatment
- You plan on having dental implants placed
- You need a root canal treatment
- You have an infection or another problem indicating disease
We invite you to contact our office today for more information about CT scanning and schedule your individual consultation with our experienced dentist and team.
