What Is a Dental CBCT Scan?

A dental CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) scan is a 3D imaging technique that provides highly detailed views of the jawbone, teeth roots, sinus structures, and surrounding tissues. It is a crucial tool in modern dental diagnostics and treatment planning.

When Is It Needed?

• Pre-implant assessment and planning

• Evaluation of impacted or unerupted teeth

• Analysis of cysts, tumors, or jaw lesions

• Endodontic (root canal) evaluation of complex anatomy

• Orthodontic treatment planning

• TMJ (jaw joint) and bone structure analysis

How Does CBCT Differ from Traditional X-Rays?

• CBCT offers 3D imaging; traditional X-rays are 2D

• CBCT provides greater anatomical detail and depth

• Essential for assessing bone quality, density, and exact dimensions

• CBCT uses low-dose digital radiation for safer diagnostics

How Is the Procedure Performed?

1. The patient is positioned in the CBCT scanner

2. The machine rotates around the head in 10–20 seconds

3. The scan is processed into 3D images

4. The dentist reviews the scan on a computer

5. A personalized treatment plan is created based on the results

What Are the Advantages of CBCT Imaging?

• Highly accurate and detailed diagnostics

• Allows for safer, more predictable treatments

• Reduces surgical risks and complications

• Optimizes implant placement and measurements

• Fast, comfortable, and non-invasive process

Is a CBCT Scan Safe?

Yes. CBCT uses a significantly lower radiation dose compared to traditional CT scans, and the diagnostic benefit far outweighs the minimal risk when performed under proper guidance.
