Seriously, handing a cbct to a respected dentist that never uses it as part of implant preparation, would really mean anything worthwhile to him?

Absolutely yes!: CBCT scans are quickly becoming the standard of care in implant dentistry. Even if your dentist don't own one, their are services that are available to assist in interrupting them, fabricating the surgical guides and case design. A simple single implant isn't always straight forward and looking thru the soft tissue prevents problems before they happen. Consider discussing this with your dentist!

CBCT : Dentistry is like any other medical specialty. If doctor needs help understanding CBCT scans, MRI or MRA and have questions about what they see, the imaging is always following radiologists report with findings, discussion and diagnostic impression. In your case dental radiologist specialist will interpret CBCT for your implant study. Hope it helps.

Lol: Doctors of dental surgery (DDS/DMD) who are involved in implant surgeries better be well trained on how to use and study a cbct and yes it means a whole a lot to them.
