CBCT 3D Dental Scan

A cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan that produces a detailed three-dimensional image of the teeth, jawbone, nerves and sinuses. It is used to plan implants, assess difficult root canals, locate impacted teeth and investigate other conditions that a standard X-ray cannot fully show. The clinic also offers conventional 2D panoramic X-rays for a broad overview of all the teeth and jaws.

Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a specialised dental scan that captures the mouth in three dimensions, unlike a conventional flat X-ray. By reconstructing a 3D model of the teeth, roots, jawbone, nerve canals and sinuses, it gives the dentist precise information about anatomy that is difficult or impossible to judge from a 2D image, and it does so at a lower radiation dose than a medical CT scan. At Stomatologia Wileńska a CBCT scan supports several types of treatment. For implants, it shows the height and width of available bone and the exact position of the nerve in the lower jaw and the sinus in the upper jaw, which is essential for placing an implant safely and for deciding whether bone grafting or a sinus lift is needed. In endodontics it helps reveal extra or curved canals and the source of persistent infection. In oral surgery it maps impacted wisdom teeth and their relationship to surrounding structures. The scan itself is quick and comfortable — you stay still for a short rotation of the machine around your head — and the price varies with the size of the area that needs to be imaged. The clinic also provides standard 2D panoramic radiographs, which capture all the upper and lower teeth in a single image and are useful for a general assessment, monitoring or a first look before deciding whether a 3D scan is required. Your dentist will recommend the appropriate type of imaging for your situation and explain what it shows.
