i-Cat® Imaging (CT Scan)

3-D Imaging - A Technological Breakthrough in Diagnosis & Treatment
The i-CAT Cone Beam 3-D Dental Imaging System offers superior 3-D imaging for improved diagnosis and treatment planning. i-CAT® is dentistry's low radiation alternative to traditional CT imaging. This machine produces 3-D images that allow us to accurately diagnose and treat many dental conditions that we were unable to before. We can now determine precise tooth position and the proximity to other vital structures such as adjacent teeth, the inferior alveolar nerve canal, the maxillary sinus walls, the nasal cavity and cortical borders.

Patients visiting Cooley-Bentz Dental Associates will benefit from having the most advanced 3-D dental and facial imaging available. Patients no longer have to leave the office and visit a radiology center to have CT scans. Patients can view their CT scan along with Dr. Cooley-Bentz, which will allow them to better understand their diagnosis, treatment plan, and expected outcome in one convenient visit.
