What is a CBCT Scanner?
A CBCT scanner (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) is a state-of-the-art scanning machine that is used to produce precise, high-resolution 3D images of a patient’s mouth including the teeth, jaws, nerve paths, soft tissue, and bone levels. In contrast to the regular dental X-ray, the scan provides high levels of detail for effective and advanced care planning, whilst using the lowest possible radiation dose amongst similar technologies on the market.
