In our ongoing effort to provide the best quality of care to our patients, we now provide x-rays with our new VaTech Green CT 2-D and 3-D imaging system. This machine is the only one in the Lehigh Valley area with the lowest dosage of radiation in the world. We now have the ability to take panoramic x-rays as well as 3D Cone Beam images. Full mouth and Bitewing x-rays are done in one scan versus multiple x-rays in and out of the mouth saving time and eliminating patient discomfort. Who wouldn’t like instant gratification?

According to pubmed.gov author S.C. White states, “Cone-beam imaging has gained broad acceptance in dentistry in the last five years. Cone-beam machines emit an x-ray beam shaped like a cone rather than a fan as in conventional computed tomography (CT) machines.” The author goes on to say “The beam diameter ranges from 4-30cm….in one pass around the patients’ head capturing from 160-599 basic images. 3-D images of bone surfaces can also be generated”.

We specialize in the placement of dental implants and the treatment of periodontal disease which includes the evaluation of fractured teeth, bone loss, infections and cysts. The Cone Beam image will greatly improve our ability to detect these unfavorable conditions and allow us to better treat our patients. The best aspect of this machine is its’ minimal to no radiation to our patients. We have spent countless hours in training to better equip ourselves with this new machine. At first glance this machine may seem intimidating but we assure you it is very quick and painless! The Green CT has benefited the dental field in diagnosing what a normal x-ray may not capture. We are certain you will love this new innovative method of x-ray imaging and your treatment with us!
