3D technology has given Dr. Koehn's patients a tremenous advantage in getting excellent care, accurate diagnosis, and appropriate treatment.
Have you ever had a tooth root canal treated... only to have it fail later for unknown reasons? Have you ever had difficult to diagnose sources of dental pain? The truth is that every tooth is unique. Teeth can harbor hidden areas of infection not visible with traditional x-rays. Sometimes a previously root canal treated tooth can get reinfected because it has more canals present than normal. If all of the canals are not found and treated inside a tooth, future reinfections can develop.
Now, in addition to Dr. Koehn's use of a microscope throughout each case to help find canals, when indicated, he has the rare advantage of looking inside a 3D virtual reconstruction of your tooth BEFORE treatment ever begins! Much of the detective work of finding canals and finding sources of pain has been eliminated with 3D imaging at El Dorado Endodontics.
The Kodak 9000 3D focused field system (cone beam computed tomography) offers the finest 3D resolution available to endodontics, while using less radiation than a digital panoramic x-ray.
3D imaging has drastically altered the course of treatment and diagnosis for many patients due to findings that never would have been detected in 2D. El Dorado Endodontics can now avoid the “Watch and Wait” recommendation for many of those difficult to diagnose cases!
We look forward to meeting you!
