Dental Cone Beam CT (CBCT) in Bristol

A CT scan for implant planning at Church Road Dental Clinic in Bristol creates a 3D computerised X-ray image and computer model of the jawbone. The clinic describes this scan as a way to assess jawbone volume and plan the position and size of a dental implant. It is a planning investigation for implant care, not a standalone diagnosis. The listed price is £210. Your dental team can explain how the scan fits into your proposed treatment plan, what information it is intended to provide, and whether any further assessment or imaging may be needed.

A CBCT dental scan creates detailed three-dimensional images of the teeth, jaw bone and nearby facial structures. At Bristol Dental Sedation and Implant Clinic, you remain seated while the Cone Beam Computed Tomography scanner captures the oral area. The scan itself typically takes 10–20 seconds and uses reduced radiation exposure compared with traditional CT systems. It may support dental diagnosis and treatment planning, including assessment before dental implants. Patients can quickly return to their normal daily routines after the scan. A scan supports clinical assessment but is not a diagnosis by itself.
