Cone-Beam CT Scan (CBCT)

Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a specialised dental scan that uses a cone-shaped X-ray beam to build a three-dimensional image of the teeth, jawbones, nerves and sinuses, typically at a lower radiation dose than a medical CT. The 3D view provides information that flat dental X-rays cannot — such as bone height and width, the exact position of an impacted tooth or nerve, and the anatomy of root canals — which makes it valuable for accurate…

The scan itself is quick and non-invasive: the patient stays still while the machine rotates around the head for a short time. The resulting data is used to plan dental implant placement with precision, to assess surgical cases such as impacted wisdom teeth or cysts, and to investigate difficult root-canal anatomy. The clinic offers fields of view scaled to the clinical need — a small volume covering up to three teeth, a single arch, or both arches — with…
