Abbotsford Oral Surgery and Dental Implant Centre is outfitted with state-of-the-art diagnostic tools such as cone beam CT technology for highly accurate three-dimensional images.

It is crucial for our team to have the most detailed information available about your oral health to develop and carry out your treatment plan for the very best long-term results.

Taking the guesswork out of the surgery allows your oral surgeon to provide you with the best experience possible.

When detailed 3D diagnostic images are employed in surgeries, patients not only experience a more precise result, they often have a faster recovery because their procedure was less invasive. 

What Is 3D imaging?

3D imaging is used to diagnose and develop treatment plans for a wide variety of procedures, from assessing the exact position of impacted teeth in wisdom teeth extractions to placing dental implants.

If you haven’t received recent 3D imaging before your initial consultation, you may receive it in our practice. Our imaging is digital; therefore, the amount of radiation exposure you will receive is just a fraction of what is received from conventional X-rays. Digital imagery is also helpful for quick sharing with your referring doctor, allowing your medical team to collaborate easily on your care.
