Diagnostic & ICAT Records

Dr. R. Scott Anderson and associates use the I-CAT, which is one of the most modern digital radiographic machines available. This technology allows us to provide the highest quality dental images.

The CBCT scan produces 3-D images that provide a unique view of the teeth, jaws and other facial skeletal features. This allows for a more accurate and specific diagnosis and treatment.

Traditional x-ray images are 2-D, flat views that may have inaccuracies and distortions. This also prevents the anatomy of the face to be seen clearly.

The CBCT prevents such distortions and allows for otherwise hidden information such as impacted teeth, missing teeth, and jaw irregularities to be detected.

Why I-CAT?
• Keep Cost to Patient Low– One scan creates different images such as a head film, a panorex, and many 3-D views.
• Surgical Predictability– Dentists have a complete anatomical information on bone and pathology prior to surgery. I-CAT images allows them to successfully create surgical plans and surgical guides prior to surgery. The results are less trauma and more predictable surgical outcomes.
• Joint images to evaluate TMJ health.
• Comprehensive airway views to evaluate tonsils, adenoids, and possible prediction for sleep apnea.
• 3-D views to evaluate root positioning to predict more accurate tooth movement.
• Fast and Easy-- The I-CAT scan is a very comfortable procedure that only takes 20 seconds.
