About this scan

What is a Dental CT (CBCT)?

Dental Cone Beam CT (CBCT) is a specialised X-ray technique that creates detailed 3D images of your teeth, jawbone, nerve pathways, and sinuses in a single scan. Unlike conventional dental X-rays, CBCT provides three-dimensional data that allows dental professionals to precisely plan implants, assess bone density, and evaluate complex tooth positions.

The scan is fast (typically under 30 seconds of actual imaging time), low-dose, and non-invasive. You sit or stand while the scanner rotates around your head. A radiologist report is provided within 48 hours.

Key facts

  • Full 3D reconstruction of jaw, teeth and bone
  • Essential for dental implant planning and orthodontic assessment
