i-CAT® 3D Imaging in Salida, CO

This advanced cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) system allows us to diagnose complex dental conditions with unmatched accuracy, ensuring precise treatment planning for dental implants, orthodontics, TMJ disorders, and more.

Unlike traditional two-dimensional X-rays, i-CAT® 3D imaging offers a complete, detailed view of your oral structures, allowing us to detect and treat dental concerns earlier and more effectively.

Why Choose i-CAT® 3D Imaging?

i-CAT® 3D imaging provides exceptional clarity and detail, making it a valuable tool for:

• Dental implant planning – Ensures precise placement by evaluating bone density and nerve positioning.
• Orthodontic treatment – Provides a full view of tooth alignment and jaw positioning for Invisalign® or braces.
• TMJ disorder diagnosis – Captures detailed images of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) to assess bite alignment and joint function.
• Wisdom teeth extractions – Helps determine if wisdom teeth are impacted or affecting surrounding structures.
• Sleep apnea evaluation – Assesses airway structures to help diagnose sleep disorders.

This state-of-the-art technology allows us to provide safer, more efficient, and highly customized treatments.

How i-CAT® 3D Imaging Works

The i-CAT® scanner uses cone beam CT (CBCT) technology, which captures a 360-degree, three-dimensional image of your oral and facial structures in just a few seconds.

What to Expect During Your Scan

• Quick & Comfortable – The scan takes less than 10 seconds, with no discomfort or invasive sensors.
• Low Radiation Exposure – Uses significantly less radiation than traditional medical CT scans.
• High-Definition 3D Images – Provides precise visualization of teeth, nerves, bones, and soft tissues.

Because the scan is completed in a single rotation, it eliminates the need for multiple X-rays, reducing radiation exposure while improving accuracy.

Who Can Benefit from i-CAT® 3D Imaging?

This technology is ideal for patients needing:

• Dental implants to restore missing teeth.
• Orthodontic treatment to correct misalignment and bite issues.
• TMJ evaluation for persistent jaw pain or clicking.
• Surgical procedures such as tooth extractions or bone grafting.
• Airway assessment for patients experiencing snoring or sleep apnea symptoms.

If you need a comprehensive, highly detailed dental scan, i-CAT® 3D imaging provides fast, accurate, and radiation-efficient results.
