If you are an existing patient of Eagle Creek Dental here in Burnaby’s Heights, you may already be aware of the fact that we are one of a handful of dental offices in the lower mainland with 3D imaging.
What does this mean for you? With 3D imaging we can provide more services without having to refer you outside of the office to see other specialists. 3D imaging allows Dr. Hodgson and Dr. Nabi to visualize nerve position to facilitate safer extractions, especially of impacted wisdom teeth. 3D imaging makes it easier to detect nerve canals in teeth requiring root canals so it’s quicker and easier for us to perform treatment.
3D imaging is especially useful for implant treatment planning allowing us to better detect the density and quality of the jaw bone and the proximity of the sinus – all key factors in implant placement.
Our 3D imaging machine can also be used to take traditional panorex images, and the smaller images similar to those often taken during your routine hygiene visits (bitewing radiographs) with out the need to place the film within the mouth.
The bonus to you – better diagnostics, comfort, and LESS RADIATION! Ask us about this new technology at your next visit.
