What Is a Cone Beam CT Scan (CBCT)?

If you’ve recently been to the dentist and were asked if you would consider having a cone-beam CT scan (CBCT) done, you might be wondering why the regular x-rays you have had done aren’t good enough?

Whilst the CBCT might sound serious and a little overwhelming, the cone-shaped x-ray beam takes multiple images at basically every angle around the patient’s mouth and then transfers these high-quality images into software where our dentists can have a perfect view of your mouth, teeth and their surrounding structures.

Performed in-house, the scanning process is very simple and shows fantastic 3D images that show bone, airway, and soft tissue in these areas, as well as any dental work you may have.

The entire procedure only takes a couple of minutes giving our dental team crystal clear images of your entire mouth, jaw, nasal, and throat areas. so that they can adequately check for and diagnose any oral health issues.

Are Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Systems (CBCT) Safe

Yes they are safe, whilst CBCT scans use radiation, they use much less than the CT scans you are used to. So while they do use radiation, they are very safe.
