What is a CBCT?

In this video, Dr. Victor Apel, a skilled Melbourne dentist, highlights the cone beam CT machine and how it is a crucial tool in the successful placement of mini dental implants.

Hello. I’m Dr. Apel. Welcome to my office. This is our CBCT machine, and what it does is give us a three dimensional scan of your mouth. We can look at all of the oral cavities, see any pathology. The benefits of the CBCT is it provides a three dimensional view of your mouth so we can see the bone from a totally different perspective: the depth, the height, the width. And we know exactly where to place the implants, optimizing the bone that you have to give the best result in whatever tooth replacement option you decide on.

    Dr. Apel has been in practice in Melbourne since 1988. Originally from Louisville, Kentucky, he graduated from the University of Louisville’s School of Dental Medicine, a facility for training physicians and dentists. He maintained a successful private practice in Louisville for five years, but Florida’s pleasant climate and the promise of year-round outside activities brought the Apels to the sunshine state.

    Dr. Apel is a member in good standing with the American Dental Association, the Florida Dental Association, the Brevard County Dental Society, the International Academy of Mini Dental Implants, and recently earned his fellowship with the International Dental Implant Association. He also maintains ongoing professional relationships with recognized researchers and clinicians.

    Dr. Apel is dedicated to providing you with the latest proven treatment methods, participates regularly in courses and seminars and is now a Mini Implant Center of America (MDICA) providing you with revolutionary benefits of mini dental implant dentistry.
