CBCT 3D Scan

A cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan produces a three-dimensional image of the jaw, showing bone height, width and the position of the sinus and nerve canals. It is the foundation of safe implant planning, letting the clinic decide implant length, position and angle before surgery. The scan is quick and is used both for routine single-implant planning and for complex full-arch and pterygoid cases.

Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a three-dimensional X-ray technique that, unlike a flat panoramic image, captures the jaw as a volume. This lets the clinician measure bone height and width accurately and see the precise location of important structures such as the maxillary sinuses and the inferior alveolar nerve. For implant dentistry that information is essential: it determines whether there is enough bone, what length and diameter of implant will fit, and the safest trajectory to avoid the sinus or nerve. At Stomatologia na Podzamczu the CBCT scan underpins the digital planning used across the clinic's implant work — from a single tooth, to short or pterygoid implants in challenging anatomy, to full-arch All-on-X cases. The scan itself takes only minutes and is non-invasive; the patient sits or stands still while the scanner rotates around the head. A smaller field of view from 295 zł covers focused single-site planning, while a larger field up to 590 zł captures more of the jaws for full-arch work. The clinic also offers intraoral digital scanning of both jaws, which is combined with the CBCT data to plan implant positions and design restorations. A CBCT is appropriate for anyone being assessed for implants, and the imaging is reviewed as part of the consultation before a treatment plan and cost estimate are agreed.
