CT Radiology Services
for Referring Dentists

Northwestern Nasal + Sinus now offers dentists, oral surgeons and periodontists advanced dental imaging at our convenient Chicago location. A full range of CT dental scans can combine with the SimPlant® interactive dental planning tool from Columbia Scientific-Materialise for complete 3-D pre-operative planning and image manipulation. You'll be able to do everything from evaluating the patient's bone quality and structure, to selecting the best implants to use—all in advance of the procedure.

We make dental imaging easy for both dentists and patients. Our state of the art GE LightSpeed16 scanner offers unparalleled resolution, no distortion, and completes scans in as little as 2 minutes. Use our SimPlant software to plan for surgery, or we can provide a SimPlant demo CD with a trial software offer to review at your office. Same day appointments are often available for patients at our comfortable office located across from Northwestern Memorial Hospital. Results are processed and reported to you within 24 hours.
