What is CBCT?

CBCT stands for Cone Beam Computed Tomography. It is a tomographic scanning technology that can scan and acquire a specified volume of the patient's head and generate a 3D data set at much lower radiation doses than their medical CT counterparts.

Why Choose CBCT?

  • X-Ray Radiation exposure is up to 10 times less than a regular medical CT scanner.
  • Much faster scan time. A CBCT scan takes between 9-20 seconds.
  • More affordable, with average prices up to 50% less than a regular Medical CT scan.
  • Noninvasive, and can eliminate the need for exploratory surgery in some cases.
  • Helps avoid surgical surprises, ensuring accurate treatment planning, fewer complications, faster healing, and excellent results.

How is the Procedure Carried Out?

A semi-circular arm makes one complete 360° rotation around your head. To avoid any movement, your head will be comfortably held in place by a biting block and a head stabilizer. The machine does not touch your face.

Is it Painful?

CBCT is absolutely painless, and the entire scanning procedure takes only a few seconds.
