If you’ve been told you may need a CBCT scan, or you’re curious about how modern technology is improving dental care, you’re in the right place.

At Precision Dental Clinic, we use Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) to help us diagnose and plan treatment with exceptional accuracy. This advanced imaging technology plays a key role in delivering safe, predictable, and high-quality dental care.

A CBCT scan is a type of 3D dental imaging that captures highly detailed views of your teeth, jaw, nerves, and surrounding structures in a single, quick scan.

Unlike traditional dental X-rays, which provide flat 2D images, CBCT creates a full 3D model of your mouth and facial anatomy. This allows your dentist to see far more detail and make more informed treatment decisions.

CBCT scans are particularly useful for more complex dental treatments, including:

By providing a complete view of your oral structures, CBCT helps ensure treatment is carefully planned and precisely delivered.

CBCT scans can reveal issues that may not be visible on standard X-rays, such as:

With detailed 3D imaging, your dentist can assess:

This allows for safer and more predictable treatment outcomes.

By clearly mapping out critical anatomical structures, CBCT helps reduce risks during surgical and complex procedures.

The scan is completely painless, requires no special preparation, and usually takes less than a minute.

While CBCT uses more radiation than a standard dental X-ray, it is significantly lower than a medical CT scan and is only used when clinically necessary.

You may be asked to remove items such as glasses, jewellery, or metal accessories.

You will be asked to remain still while the CBCT machine rotates around your head. The scan typically takes between 10–40 seconds.

The images are processed immediately, allowing your dentist to review the results and discuss your treatment options with you.

At Precision Dental Clinic, we use CBCT technology to ensure that every treatment is planned with precision, safety, and confidence. It supports a wide range of treatments and helps us deliver the best possible outcomes for our patients.
