Enhance your implant treatment with accurate imaging.

The benefits of CBCT scans
CBCT scans allow for precise implant placement by providing the following:
Orthopantomogram (OPG) X-ray
An Orthopantomogram (OPG) X-ray provides a panoramic, wide-view image of the upper and lower jaw, including the associated teeth from root to crown. This single image offers a comprehensive overview, which is not possible with periapical or bite-wing X-rays.

CBCT scanners use multiple X-ray beams to create a series of images from different angles. These images are processed by a computer to produce a detailed 3D rendering of your jaw and teeth, offering your dentist a comprehensive view of your oral structures.
The procedure is straightforward and takes less than a minute. You’ll stand while the machine rotates around your head, capturing the necessary images. No special preparation is needed, but you will be asked to remove any jewellery, glasses, or dental devices.
CBCT scans are quick, non-invasive, and generally safe. They use more radiation than a standard X-ray but much less than a traditional CT scan. The level of radiation is minimal and is unlikely to cause harm. However, it is advisable not to have a CBCT scan if you are pregnant.
