CT Imaging

Modern dentistry depends on precision, safety, and advanced technology to deliver the best possible care for patients. At BeneDental in Norwell, MA, we are proud to offer state-of-the-art dental CT imaging as part of our commitment to excellence. This technology uses advanced 3D imaging to capture highly detailed views of your teeth, jawbone, and surrounding structures, far surpassing what traditional two-dimensional X-rays can provide. With a complete, three-dimensional picture of your mouth, our team can identify issues earlier, plan treatments more accurately, and provide care that is safer and more effective.

CT Imaging For Precision and Confidence in Your Care

One of the key benefits of dental CT imaging in Norwell, MA is its ability to guide complex dental procedures with unmatched precision. For patients considering dental implants, these 3D scans are essential in determining bone density, mapping the exact placement of implants, and avoiding sensitive anatomical areas such as nerves and sinuses. The same technology also plays an important role in root canal therapy, helping us locate hidden canals or infections that standard X-rays might miss. For oral surgery, wisdom teeth extractions, and TMJ evaluations, dental CT imaging ensures that BeneDental patients receive treatment that is customized to their exact anatomy, minimizing risks and improving long-term outcomes.

In addition to treatment planning, 3D dental imaging is a powerful diagnostic tool. By capturing a complete picture of the mouth, our dentists can detect issues such as bone loss, cysts, infections, or abnormalities at an early stage. This allows us to provide proactive care before small problems become more serious. At BeneDental, patient safety and comfort are always our top priorities, which is why our CT scans are designed with low radiation exposure and efficient results. Most scans are completed in under a minute, and the images are immediately available for review, allowing us to explain findings and treatment options to you in real time.

Our investment in 3D imaging technology reflects our mission to give patients the most advanced diagnostic and treatment planning tools available in modern dentistry. Whether you are preparing for implants, addressing persistent dental pain, or simply seeking the peace of mind that comes from an accurate diagnosis, our team is here to help. With dental CT imaging, you can feel confident that every procedure is based on the clearest, most accurate information, ensuring the best possible results for your smile and overall oral health.

CT Imaging FAQ’s

How the Dental CT Imaging Procedure Works?

The dental CT imaging process is simple, quick, and comfortable. When you arrive for your appointment, you will be seated in front of the imaging unit. The scanner rotates gently around your head, capturing multiple images in just a few seconds. These are then combined into a highly detailed 3D model of your teeth, jawbone, sinuses, and nerves.

Unlike medical CT scans, dental CT imaging uses a much lower radiation dose and is designed specifically for dentistry. The procedure is painless and requires no special preparation. With this technology, our dental team can:

  • Assess bone density and structure before placing implants
  • Identify infections, fractures, and hidden problems that don’t appear on regular X-rays
  • Plan oral surgeries with greater safety and accuracy
  • Evaluate the position of wisdom teeth and their impact on nerves or sinuses
  • Detect issues early, helping prevent complications and improve treatment outcomes

By integrating dental CT imaging into your care, BeneDental ensures that every decision is supported by precise, three-dimensional information.

How long does the procedure take?
The actual scan with dental CT imaging takes less than a minute. Most patients spend only a few minutes in the imaging room, and the results are available almost instantly for review. This efficiency allows us to discuss your treatment plan during the same visit.
Why would I need dental CT imaging instead of a regular X-ray?

Standard dental X-rays are useful for routine exams but only show a flat, two-dimensional view. Dental CT imaging provides a three-dimensional picture of your teeth, bone, nerves, and soft tissue. This level of detail is especially important for dental implants, root canal treatments, and complex oral surgeries. With a complete 3D scan, we can avoid complications, plan with accuracy, and give you the most predictable results.

Is dental CT imaging covered by insurance?
In many cases, yes. Coverage depends on your insurance plan and the reason for the scan. Our team will verify your benefits and let you know about any out-of-pocket costs before treatment, so there are no surprises.
