CAT scanning is used in our office to develop precise planning for dental implant placement and bone graft surgery. Use of CAT scanning helps the restorative dentist to produce replacement teeth that are attractive and functional, and that are in harmony with the patient's temporomandibular joint.

The use of this highly accurate scanning data for dental implant planning is invaluable for determining possible implant sites, outlining critical anatomic structures such as sinus enlargement, areas of thin bone, impacted teeth and nerve locations. Loss of natural teeth leads to loss of bone in critical areas and this requires highly accurate measurement and planning to be able to place dental implants in the ideal positions necessary to restore and replace missing teeth. Digital CAT scanning makes our diagnostic work simpler and more accurate.
