Computed Tomography or CT is a unique type of X-ray equipment that is used when regular
dental or facial x-rays are not providing the desired results.
The main difference between a dental CT scan and a dental x-ray is their output. A CT scan
provides a 3d image while an X-ray scan only provides us with a 2d image of the teeth. In
fact, with a CT scan, dentists can look inside an entire tooth, jawbone, and even the airway
without any cuts or surgery! Overall, dental CT scan is helping dentists and other
professionals take precautionary measures by knowing each detail of the part of interest.
