Let's explore what CBCT is, how it works, and the many benefits it offers our patients in the Opelika community. In today's dental world, updated technology continues to transform how we diagnose and treat oral health issues—and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has been right at the front of this wave. If you've ever wondered how dentists get such precise 3D imaging for implants, root canals, or orthodontics, this advanced imaging system is often the reason. Like our Trios scanner and digital intraoral camera, CBCT is the latest technology available at Stiles Dental Group. Let's explore what CBCT is, how it works, and the many benefits it offers our patients in the Opelika community. What Is Cone Beam Computed Tomography? CBCT is a specialized X-ray technology designed specifically for the dental and maxillofacial region. Unlike traditional dental X-rays, which offer flat, two-dimensional images, CBCT provides detailed 3D images of teeth, soft tissues, nerve pathways, and bone—all in a single scan. It's a game-changer for accurately diagnosing complex dental problems and planning precise treatments. How Does CBCT Work? During a CBCT scan, a cone-shaped X-ray beam rotates around your head, capturing hundreds of images from multiple angles in seconds. These images are then digitally combined to create a three-dimensional model of your oral structures. The entire process is quick, noninvasive, and comfortable—no need to lie down or undergo a lengthy procedure. Most CBCT machines allow patients to remain seated or standing during the scan, making it ideal for all ages and mobility levels. Benefits of CBCT in Dentistry Exceptional Image Clarity: CBCT provides incredibly detailed visuals, helping dentists see things that... --- > Veneers are a great option for many people to correct their smile. Visit Stiles Dental Group to see if veneers are the right choice for you. - Published: 2023-10-11 - Modified: 2025-08-13 - URL: https://www.stilesdentalgroup.com/who-qualifies-as-a-good-candidate-for-dental-veneers/ - Categories: Dental Veneers - Tags: Dental Veneers Veneers are a great option for many people to correct their smile, but who qualifies as a good candidate for dental veneers? A radiant smile can significantly boost self-confidence, and with advancements in cosmetic dentistry, achieving it is more accessible than ever. Among the popular options, dental veneers offer a versatile solution for various aesthetic concerns. But are you a suitable candidate? Let's explore: Understanding Dental Veneers Imagine thin, durable porcelain "shells" customized to seamlessly bond to your natural teeth. That's the essence of dental veneers. Each veneer is meticulously crafted to match your desired shade, shape, and size, addressing a multitude of issues: Whitening: Enhance the overall brightness of your smile. Gap Closure: Eliminate unwanted spaces between teeth. Shape Correction: Reshape slightly misaligned or oddly shaped teeth. Crooked Teeth: Create a more even and aligned smile. Crack & Chip Repair: Conceal chips and cracks, restoring tooth integrity. Ideal Candidates for Veneers Veneers can empower many to reclaim their smiles. Consider seeking them if you: Seek Multifaceted Aesthetic Fixes: Address multiple cosmetic concerns simultaneously. Have Discolored Teeth: Combat deep stains or discoloration resistant to whitening. Want to Erase Staining: Conceal lingering discoloration from old fillings. Practice Good Oral Habits: Avoid habits like nail-biting or chewing hard objects, which can damage veneers. Have Sufficient Enamel: Possess enough sound enamel for a strong bond between veneer and tooth. Unlocking Your Smile's Potential at Stiles Dental Group Veneers offer a transformative solution for numerous individuals seeking a confident smile. Our experienced dentists at Stiles Dental Group in Opelika, AL, can assess your unique needs and determine if veneers are the optimal choice for you.

Read more about the pros and cons associated with common procedures. - Published: 2023-10-11 - Modified: 2025-06-18 - URL: https://www.stilesdentalgroup.com/the-pros-and-cons-of-cosmetic-dentistry/ - Categories: Cosmetic Dentistry - Tags: Cosmetic Dentistry Cosmetic dentistry can help improve your smile and overall dental health. However, there are pros and cons to cosmetic dentistry, so we’ve compiled a list to help you decide whether it’s the right choice for you. Dreaming of a Dazzling Smile? Weigh the Benefits and Drawbacks of Cosmetic Dentistry A radiant smile is often viewed as an essential accessory, influencing our first impressions and self-confidence. But for many of us, achieving picture-perfect teeth isn't a matter of simply brushing well. That's where cosmetic dentistry steps in, offering a range of procedures to enhance the appearance and functionality of your smile. However, before venturing down this path, it's crucial to weigh the pros and cons of these treatments to determine if they align with your needs and expectations. Cons of Cosmetic Dentistry: Not All Glitter is Gold Potential for Increased Sensitivity: Teeth whitening, while boosting brightness, can heighten sensitivity to hot and cold foods or drinks. Additionally, maintaining a white smile necessitates avoiding staining beverages like coffee or berries. Permanence of Choices: Many procedures, like crowns and veneers, are irreversible. Consider if you're fully committed to the desired aesthetic before taking the plunge. Financial Considerations: Cosmetic dentistry can be a significant investment. Veneers, for example, can range from $925 to $2,500 per tooth, while braces can cost upwards of $5,000. Explore financing options and insurance coverage to ensure affordability. Pros of Cosmetic Dentistry: More Than Just a Pretty Smile Boosting Your Health: Contrary to popular belief, cosmetic dentistry often goes hand-in-hand with improved oral health. Addressing dental issues like misalignment or gaps helps prevent gum disease, decay, and even chronic health problems like heart disease and diabetes.
