3D Imaging for Safer, More Predictable Dental Care

Modern dentistry is about clarity, safety, and long-term outcomes. At our clinic, we now offer in-house CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) scanning, allowing us to diagnose and plan treatments with a level of precision that traditional X-rays simply cannot provide.

CBCT helps us understand your teeth, jawbone, nerves, and surrounding structures in three dimensions, so treatments are planned around your anatomy—not assumptions.


What Is a CBCT Scan?

A CBCT scan is an advanced 3D dental imaging technique that captures highly detailed images of:

  • Teeth and roots
  • Jawbone height, width, and density
  • Nerves and sinus spaces
  • Jaw joints (TMJ)
  • Impacted or hidden teeth

Unlike regular 2D X-rays, CBCT allows us to see depth, thickness, and exact positioning, which is critical for safe and accurate dental treatment.

Why We Use CBCT Routinely in Our Practice

We believe certain dental procedures should never be planned blindly. CBCT is routinely used in our clinic for:

Dental Implants

  • Accurate measurement of available bone
  • Identifying the exact location of nerves and sinuses
  • Reducing the risk of implant failure or nerve injury

Full Mouth Rehabilitation

  • Understanding bite forces and jaw relationships
  • Planning crowns, bridges, and implants as a single, balanced system

Complex Root Canal Procedures

  • Detecting extra or curved canals
  • Identifying hidden infections, fractures, or previously missed anatomy

Impacted Tooth Extractions (Wisdom Teeth / Canines)

  • Assessing proximity to nerves and adjacent teeth
  • Planning safer, more controlled extractions

Why In-House CBCT Matters

Having CBCT available within the clinic means:

  • No need to visit an external radiology centre
  • Faster diagnosis and treatment planning
  • Immediate correlation between scan findings and clinical examination
  • Better communication and explanation for patients

Most importantly, it allows us to recommend or decline procedures responsibly, based on complete information.

Is a CBCT Scan Safe?

Yes. CBCT uses low-dose, focused radiation, significantly lower than medical CT scans.

  • Radiation is limited to the area being examined
  • Prescribed only when it adds diagnostic value
  • Follows the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable)

Your safety always comes first.

Does a CBCT Scan Hurt?

Not at all.

  • The scan is non-invasive and painless
  • No injections or discomfort
  • Takes less than a minute
  • You simply stand or sit still while the scanner rotates around your head

CBCT vs Regular Dental X-Ray

Aspect Regular X-Ray CBCT Scan
Image Type 2D 3D
Bone Thickness Not visible Precisely measured
Nerves & Sinuses Limited view Clearly visible
Implant Planning Approximate Highly accurate
Diagnostic Confidence Moderate Very high

How CBCT Improves Treatment Outcomes

CBCT allows us to:

  • Plan minimally invasive procedures
  • Avoid surgical surprises
  • Reduce complications
  • Improve long-term success of implants and restorations

In short, better imaging leads to better decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is CBCT needed for every patient?

No. CBCT is recommended only when it improves safety or diagnostic accuracy.

Is CBCT necessary before dental implants?

Yes. For modern, safe implant dentistry, CBCT is strongly recommended.

Can CBCT detect issues missed on X-rays?

Yes. Hidden infections, bone defects, nerve positions, fractures, and sinus involvement are often visible only on CBCT.

Thoughtful Dentistry Backed by Advanced Technology

Technology should support ethical, patient-centred care, not rush decisions.
Our in-house CBCT allows us to plan treatments that are safer, more precise, and built to last.

If you’ve been advised dental implants, full mouth rehabilitation, complex root canal treatment, or impacted tooth removal, a CBCT scan can provide clarity and confidence before proceeding.
