Advanced 3D Diagnostic Imaging
To provide the highest standard of dental care, DentPlus offers advanced in-house 3D diagnostic imaging using Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). This technology allows our clinicians to see your teeth, jawbone, nerves and surrounding structures in exceptional detail, supporting accurate diagnosis and carefully planned treatment.
TL;DR – Advanced 3D Diagnostic Imaging (CBCT)
Advanced 3D diagnostic imaging (CBCT) provides detailed three-dimensional views of teeth, jawbone, nerves and surrounding structures. It supports accurate diagnosis and safer treatment planning for procedures such as dental implants, complex root canal treatment and impacted teeth assessment. CBCT scans are quick, non-invasive and use lower radiation than conventional medical CT scans when clinically indicated.
What is 3D diagnostic imaging (CBCT)?
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a specialised dental scan that creates a high-resolution 3D image of your oral and facial structures.
Unlike traditional 2D X-rays, CBCT shows depth, volume and spatial relationships, helping your dentist make informed clinical decisions.
Why might I need a CBCT scan?
A CBCT scan may be recommended when detailed imaging is essential for safe and predictable treatment planning, including:
Dental implants
Accurate assessment of bone volume, density and anatomy before implant placement.
Root canal treatment (Endodontics)
Identification of complex root canal systems, fractures or hidden infections.
Impacted teeth
Precise localisation of impacted or unerupted teeth, including wisdom teeth, in relation to nerves.
TMJ and sinus assessment
Evaluation of jaw joint conditions and sinus anatomy where conventional X-rays are insufficient.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a CBCT scan in dentistry?
A CBCT scan is a specialised 3D dental imaging technique that shows detailed views of teeth, bone, nerves and surrounding structures, helping dentists diagnose and plan treatment more accurately.
Why might my dentist recommend a CBCT scan?
A CBCT scan may be recommended when detailed imaging is needed for procedures such as dental implants, complex root canal treatment, impacted teeth or jaw and sinus assessment.
Is a CBCT scan safe?
Yes. CBCT scans are considered safe when clinically justified and use a lower radiation dose than traditional medical CT scans, following established safety guidelines.
How long does a CBCT scan take?
The scanning process takes only a few seconds, with the entire appointment usually completed within a short visit.
Do I need to prepare for a CBCT scan?
No special preparation is required. You may be asked to remove metal items such as jewellery before the scan to ensure clear images.
