Dental Cone Beam CT, also known as CBCT, is a special type of X-ray equipment used when regular dental or facial X-rays are not sufficient.
Your doctor may use this technology to produce three-dimensional (3-D) images of your teeth, soft tissues, nerve pathways, and bone in a single scan.
The American Dental Association (ADA) and the FDA recommend that clinicians perform dental X-ray examinations, including dental CBCT, only when necessary for the diagnosis or treatment of disease. The clinical benefit of a medically appropriate X-ray imaging examination outweighs the small radiation risk.

At the low doses of radiation used by many dental imaging procedures, the radiation risk is very small. However, because any exposure to radiation should be justified, imaging examinations should be performed when there is a clear clinical benefit.
Cone Beam Computed Tomography, commonly known as CBCT, is a medical imaging technique that uses X-rays to create detailed three-dimensional images. The X-ray beam forms a cone-shaped projection around the area being examined.
The actual CBCT scan may take only a short amount of time. The total appointment time may include registration, patient positioning, scanning, image reconstruction, and verification.
Radiation doses vary depending on the CBCT machine, field of view, exposure settings, and the area being examined. Your dental professional can explain the expected radiation exposure for your particular examination.
A CBCT scan can help dental professionals examine teeth, jaw bones, surrounding structures, and other anatomical details in three dimensions. It may be useful for treatment planning in areas such as dental implants, oral surgery, orthodontics, and complex dental cases.
The cost of a CBCT scan can vary depending on the location, equipment, imaging centre, type of scan, and settings used. Please contact the clinic for current pricing and availability.
