Safety & Convenience of CBCT Scanning
Our cone beam CT (CBCT) scanner offers a safe, quick, and comfortable imaging experience. It uses significantly lower radiation (10–20% of a standard CT scan) while providing highly detailed 3D images. The scanning process is fast, positioning takes minutes, the scan itself just seconds, and the results are ready shortly after.
There is no discomfort or aftercare required, you can eat, drink, and continue your day as usual. Meanwhile, your consultant receives instant, high-quality images, allowing for quicker diagnosis and treatment planning.
Medical Benefits of CBCT Scanning
CBCT imaging provides precise visualisation of both bone and soft tissue, helping diagnose and treat a range of conditions affecting the jaws, teeth, TMJ, sinuses, and airways. The system’s advanced 3D processing allows specialists to manipulate and analyse images in detail, aiding in surgical, orthodontic, and restorative planning.
This cutting-edge technology ensures that if CBCT is recommended for your case, it will be fully explained to you, providing confidence in your treatment.
CBCT is now recognised as the gold standard for maxillofacial imaging, surpassing traditional X-rays and, in some cases, even MRI scans. Research shows CBCT offers up to 40% improved accuracy in diagnosing conditions like TMJ osteoarthritis, thanks to advancements in imaging software and contrast resolution.
The Future of CBCT Technology
CBCT continues to evolve, with governments investing in research and AI-driven enhancements improving scan precision. As these advancements develop, CBCT will become even more effective in diagnosing jaw disorders, dental conditions, and airway obstructions.
At our clinic, we stay at the forefront of CBCT technology, ensuring our patients receive the most advanced and effective maxillofacial care available.
