Gasport, NY Dentist Dr. Igor Kaplansky Helps His Patients Navigate Orthodontic Options

As part of a commitment to providing his Gasport, NY patients with efficient, state-of-the-art orthodontic care, Dr. Igor Kaplansky utilizes the latest in dental x-ray imaging through cone beam computed tomography, or CBCT.  The accelerated imaging method comes at no sacrifice to the comprehensiveness of the examination.  It’s actually quite the opposite. This exciting x-ray imaging technology is used to quickly produce complete and detailed views of a patient’s skull-base, head, neck, sinus and teeth, all in highly detailed 3D.  The 3D rendition produced by the CBCT gives greater insight into a patient’s teeth; much more so than would be gathered from conventional 2D radiography imaging. Dr. Kaplansky wants his patients to learn more the technology that’s available at his Gasport, NY practice, and how that technology is used to help improve their smiles.

The specific CBCT equipment used by Dr. Kaplansky is referred to as the Kodak 9000 3D Cone Beam CT Scanner.  The scan itself takes about twenty seconds and is completed through a specialized scanning plate, which rotates around the patient’s head.  In that brief time, hundreds of individual images are collected and combined to produce a 3D view that’s extremely helpful for orthodontic care. With the 3D image giving a clear indication of the depth of the patient’s oral cavity, the Iluma Ultra CBCT scanner greatly aids in making precise diagnoses.  The results help Dr. Kaplansky determine what, if any, specific surgical steps are needed to help the patient.

Utilizing technology like the Cone Beam CT Scanner helps Dr. Kaplansky care for his patients thoroughly and carry out advanced dental services more efficiently.
