Digital Imaging

Nashville Endodontics carefully chooses which and when radiographs are taken. There are many guidelines that we follow. Radiographs allow us to see everything we cannot see with our own eyes. Radiographs enable us to determine bone level, and analyze the health of your bone. We can also examine the roots and nerves of teeth, diagnose lesions such as cysts or tumors, as well as assess damage when trauma occurs.

Dental radiographs are invaluable aids in diagnosing, treating, and maintaining dental health. Exposure time for dental radiographs is extremely minimal. Nashville Endodontics utilizes Digital Imaging Technologies within the office. With digital imaging, exposure time is about 90 percent less when compared to traditional radiographs. Digital imaging can also help us retrieve valuable diagnostic information.

Digital imaging allows us to store patient images, and enables us to quickly and easily transfer them to specialists or insurance companies.

Cone Beam 3D Imaging

Our office uses CBCT 3D technology, (Cone Beam Computed Tomography).  When we use this type of dental CT scan we get images of your teeth, soft tissues, nerve and blood vessel pathways and bone from multiple angles with extreme accuracy.  This machine features the highest 3D image resolution splices available in dentistry (75 µm or 0.075 millimeters thin) . This superior resolution provides us with better anatomical details both within the tooth and external to the tooth, to provide you with improved diagnoses and treatment planning, as well as the greatest possible treatment outcomes.

Surgical Microscopes

Surgical microscopes allow us to see the tiniest detail of your tooth, giving us the edge we need to ensure your procedure is done correctly. These microscopes magnify details which are invisible to the naked eye and illuminate the work area, allowing us to work with precision to restore your tooth to health.
