3D CT Scans for Dental Implants in Palm Beach Gardens
See how your jaw anatomy and planned replacement teeth come together in an individual implant plan.
A More Complete View for Implant Planning
An implant plan considers both the teeth you will see and the structures underneath them. At Rudnick Dentistry, 3D imaging helps Dr. Rudnick evaluate your jaw and relate the proposed implants to your replacement teeth. Images are reviewed alongside your examination, health history, and treatment goals.
What a 3D Dental Scan Helps Us See
Bone and Implant Position
Cone beam computed tomography, or CBCT, provides a three dimensional view of the teeth and jaws. When this imaging is appropriate, it helps assess available bone height and width around a proposed implant site.
Nearby Structures
The images help identify nearby nerves, sinuses, and tooth roots. Those details contribute to the position and angle considered for an implant.
The Planned Replacement Teeth
The scan is one part of planning a crown, bridge, or full arch restoration. The implant position needs to support the teeth you will use for smiling, speaking, and chewing.
What Happens During Your Scan
Our team explains how to position yourself and what items to remove before imaging. You stay still while the scanner moves around your head. No implant is placed during the scan.
Let us know where recent dental images were taken so we can review what is already available. The visit is an opportunity to discuss the information needed for your particular plan.
How the Images Shape Your Implant Plan
Dr. Rudnick combines the imaging findings with your examination and restorative goals. The review may show that a proposed site needs bone treatment, that another implant arrangement should be considered, or that a different replacement option deserves discussion.
Our office provides implant placement, grafting, sinus lifts, and implant restorations. The implant process is planned around the care you actually need rather than a standard sequence for every patient.
When a Surgical Guide May Be Used
In suitable cases, a custom surgical guide helps transfer a digital plan to implant placement. Its use depends on your anatomy and treatment needs.
Imaging and guides support clinical decisions. They do not replace the examination or guarantee a surgical result. Dr. Rudnick explains the approach recommended for your case.
Reviewing Your Plan With Dr. Rudnick
Understand What the Images Mean
We relate the scan findings to the proposed treatment so you can understand the reason for each step. You can ask how the findings affect preparation, implant position, and the replacement teeth.
Compare the Relevant Options
A plan for one missing tooth differs from a plan for several missing teeth or a full arch. The scan helps inform that comparison; your goals and clinical examination remain essential.
