You do not need a CT scan before placing an implant. A CT scan is very nice to have especially when close to nerves however a very seasons implant specialist usually doesnt need one.
Yes, you get CT scan before implant surgery.
It's NOW considered a standard of care to have CT scans done for any implant surgery. These scans provide detailed 3D images of the jawbone to assess bone density, quality, and structure, which help to proper treatment planning, ensuring the precise location and angle for implant placement, and reducing the risk of complications. It's an essential part of ensuring the safety and effectiveness of implant surgery.
Yes, a CT scan is often recommended before implant surgery to assess bone quality and quantity. It helps ensure the success of the procedure. Thank you for your question, and best of luck with your implant journey!
The standard of care for implant surgery at this time is to obtain three-dimensional imaging of the region of interest. Dentists, oral surgeons, or other dental professionals trained in implant surgery will often get a CBCT as part of implant planning at your consultation appointment. This will allow them to see the three-dimensional volume of bone and any adjacent structures (teeth, sinus, nerve) in order to reduce risks and improve outcomes.
Yes, a CT scan should be acquired before any implant placement.
