ADVANCED DENTAL IMAGING (ADI) :
A 3-Dimensional Dental Imaging Center
ADI is pleased to introduce a new 3-dimensional imaging technology to Las Vegas. The new technology is known as Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) or Cone-Beam Volumetric Tomography (CBVT) and is an x-ray imaging approach that provides high resolution 3-dimensional images of the jaws and teeth. CBCT images provide invaluable information that is not contained in conventional 2-dimensional films. The quality of CBCT images are comparable to conventional medical CT scans but at a fraction of the radiation dosage, ensuring that radiation exposure is kept to a minimum.
Cone-Beam CT fulfills a much needed diagnostic imaging need in dentistry. The technology is derived from its medical counterpart, the computed axial tomography, which is one of the most important radiological exams world-wide. While cone-beam CT is very different from medical CT, it also produces 3-dimensional images. Clear advantages of CBCT are its rapid imaging time (under 10 seconds) and its much lower radiation dose compared to medical CT.
Imaging Services
Dentists refer patients to ADI for 3-dimensional imaging services by completing an IMAGING PRESCRIPTION FORM for our Las Vegas office or Palm Desert office. Since specific details and imaging instructions are indicated on this form, it must be brought in by the patient to the imaging appointment. Appointments for a CBCT scan can be made by calling (702) 212-9111 in Las Vegas, NV or (760) 423-0808 in Palm Desert, CA. The cost of imaging is due at the time of the appointment. ADI does not take assignment from insurance companies.
