Having an in-house CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) machine at Smritiraj Dentistry provides several advantages for dental and medical practices.
Improved Patient Care
In-house CBCT allows for immediate access to high-quality 3D imaging, enabling faster and more accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. This lead to better patient care and outcomes.
Treatment Planning
Having a CBCT machine on-site allows clinicians to perform real-time treatment planning, especially for complex dental and maxillofacial procedures. It facilitates precise measurements and placement for dental implants, orthodontics, and oral surgery at Smritiraj Dentistry.
Reduced Patient Referrals
We provide CBCT scans in-house, you reduce the need to refer patients to external imaging facilities. This enhances patient convenience and may improve patient satisfaction.
Time and Cost Efficiency
In-house CBCT saves time and reduces costs associated with outsourcing scans to external facilities. It leads to quicker decision-making and treatment initiation.
Control Over Quality
With an in-house machine, we have control over the quality and timing of scans, ensuring that you get the images you need, when you need them. This is especially important for emergency cases.
Enhanced Collaboration
In-house CBCT facilitates collaboration between dentists, oral surgeons, orthodontists, and other specialists. We review scans together, which is crucial for interdisciplinary treatment planning.
Revenue Generation
Owning a CBCT machine is also a source of additional revenue. We provide scanning services to other nearby practices or specialists who do not have access to their own CBCT machine.
Research and Education
Having an in-house CBCT is valuable for research and educational purposes. It allows for the development of case studies, the training of staff, and the advancement of clinical knowledge.
Privacy and Security
In-house CBCT scans help maintain the privacy and security of patient data, as you have more control over the entire process.
Adaptability
The ability to adapt to evolving technology and emerging needs in patient care. As CBCT technology continues to advance, we upgrade your in-house machine to stay current.
It's important to consider the costs and regulatory requirements associated with owning and operating a CBCT machine, including training, maintenance, and compliance with radiation safety regulations. However, for Smritiraj Dentistry, the benefits of having an in-house CBCT machine outweigh these considerations, leading to improved patient care and practice efficiency.
