Frequently Asked Questions

What is a CBCT scan?

CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) is an advanced dental imaging technique that provides detailed 3D images of teeth, jaw bones, nerves, and surrounding structures. It is commonly used for precise diagnosis and treatment planning.

Why is a CBCT scan done?

CBCT is performed for dental implant planning, evaluation of impacted teeth, root canal assessment, jaw tumors or cyst detection, orthodontic analysis, and complex facial bone examinations.

How should I prepare for a CBCT scan?

No special preparation is required. You may be asked to remove jewellery, glasses, dentures, or any metal objects around the head and neck area before the scan.

Is CBCT safe?

Yes, CBCT is generally safe. It uses a focused and relatively low dose of radiation compared to conventional CT scans, and safety protocols are followed during the procedure.

Is CBCT painful?

No, CBCT is completely painless. You simply need to remain still while the machine rotates around your head to capture detailed images.

How long does a CBCT scan take?

The scanning process usually takes less than 10 minutes, and the actual image capture takes only a few seconds.

Can pregnant women undergo CBCT?

Pregnant women should inform the technician before the scan. CBCT is generally avoided during pregnancy unless absolutely necessary and recommended by a doctor.

What conditions can CBCT detect?

CBCT can detect impacted teeth, bone loss, jaw fractures, cysts, tumors, sinus conditions, nerve positioning, and other complex dental and maxillofacial issues.

When will I get my CBCT results?

The images are usually available shortly after the scan. A detailed report may take some time depending on the complexity of the evaluation.

What is the difference between CBCT and OPG?

CBCT provides detailed 3D images for advanced dental diagnosis, while OPG provides a 2D panoramic image of the teeth and jaws for general evaluation.
