i-CAT® 3-D Dental Imaging
Drs. Wheeler & Delsol Introduce 3-D Dental Imaging For Better Patient Care
As part of their continuing commitment to enhance patient care, Drs. Wheeler & Delsol are now using the latest in dental imaging technology, the i-CAT, a Cone Beam 3-D dental imaging system. Cone Beam technology is quickly advancing the dental industry's leading approach to treatment planning and diagnosis. With a quick scan around the patient's head, the doctors can now view 3-D patient anatomy to accomplish more precise evaluation for predictable treatment results in shorter appointment times for the patient.
Dentistry's most accurate imaging. We have chosen this technology to enhance treatment care for patients in the greater South Orange County area. Using the i-CAT scanner's high resolution images, the doctors obtain highly accurate and detailed three-dimensional views of all anatomies such as bone, teeth, tooth orientation, tooth and nerve relation, airways and sinuses. This 3-D dental imaging is used for implant planning, TMJ and airway analysis, orthodontic and oral surgery planning, and to detect pathologies such as cysts and tumors.
Safety and Convenience for Patients. Our office can now take an immediate scan for patients with lower radiation dosage and without the inconvenience of sending them to a hospital. Once the scan is complete, the doctor is able to share an immediate visual diagnosis to help patients truly visualize and better understand treatment options. These preoperative scans are easily shared with other doctors helping Drs. Wheeler & Delsol perform less invasive procedures through increased precision, thus reducing risks for patients.
