Professional
Dental CT Scan Services in Montreal for Mandibular
and Maxillary or Dental Implant Surgery
A dental implant is a highly sophisticated procedure.
The more information your dental specialist has about
the anatomy of your mouth before your dental implant,
the better the outcome. Important information includes
the width and density of your bony ridge, which helps
to assess implant feasibility and the exact placement
of your alveolar nerve, which prevents painful
nerve damage.
Medisys now also offers Nobel Guide Scans
Traditional x-rays provide only a limited
two-dimensional view. Although they show the
height and contour of the bony ridge, they give no
information on the width and density
of the bone and may distort the placement of the
alveolar nerve. 3D dental scanning takes
all of the guesswork out of implants. This quick
and safe exam produces life-like
views of your mouth that let your dental specialist
determine pre-surgically if you are a candidate for implants.
Patient
Information
Your CT dental scan will be performed at our clinic
using a 16-slice CT scan. For your
convenience and comfort, you will always be in direct
communication with our technologist through an intercom
and a clear glass wall. The procedure takes about
15 to 20 minutes to complete.
There is no special
preparation required for the procedure. Any removable
dentures are usually taken out before the exam. On
occasion, you may be asked to wear a “stent” or small
mouthpiece during the scan. The stent will mark certain
reference points for the implant sites.
