Dental CBCT Scan (3D Imaging)

Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a specialised dental scan that captures the mouth and jaws in three dimensions. Where a conventional X-ray gives a flat picture, CBCT lets the dentist see bone height and width, the position of nerves and sinuses, impacted teeth and the fine anatomy of tooth roots from any angle. This level of detail is particularly important for planning dental implants safely and accurately, and for assessing surgical extractions…

The scan itself takes only a short time: you stand still while the scanner rotates around your head, and no injection or special preparation is required.
