Dental implants: how can it be that a cbct shows enough vertical, width and strength of bone when teeth pulled years ago? am told i can do implant.(?)

Depends: The adequacy of bone depends on many factores. Sometimes adequate bone exists years after extraction. See an oral surgeon for best advice about implants.

What it is: The bone is what it is at this time. The imaging gives us much information to help determine what the area looks like and what to expect during surgery. Strength is only an estimate based on density appearance. Never know for sure until we see and test the bone. However after years of experience we can get a good idea using these studies. Good Luck.

CBCT: The technology does just that.. it shows your surgeon internal imaging that cannot otherwise be seen with the naked eye. Makes no difference that your teeth were extracted years ago, implants are being contemplated today. And it is today that counts.

CBCT technology: has the ability to detect variations in bone density and size which can help determine the predictability of surgical procedures, the longevity of restorative treatment and avoid complications.
