Cone Beam Computed Tomography- CBCT

Imagine holding a clay model instead of just looking at a drawing; you can feel its shape, depth, and every curve. That’s what a CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) image gives your dentist. Whether you’re getting a dental implant, root canal treatment, or wisdom tooth extraction, having a clear, detailed view of your teeth, jawbone, and surrounding structures, CBCT helps your dentist to plan your treatment with accuracy and confidence.

At Dr. Guls Dental Clinic, we use CBCT technology to ensure your diagnosis and treatment are faster, safer, and more precise. With this advanced scan, we can visualize every detail of your oral structures, from bone density and nerve pathways to tooth roots and sinus cavities- all in a single, quick scan.

What is CBCT?

A CBCT scan is a smart dental X-ray that gives a 3D (three-dimensional) view of your teeth, jaws, and facial bones. The machine moves around your head in a circle, taking pictures from different angles. These pictures are then combined by a computer to make a detailed 3D model of your mouth. This helps your dentist see your teeth and facial bones from every angle- front, back, top, and sides, just like having a complete 360° view of your mouth.

How Is A CBCT Scan Done?

A CBCT scan is one of the easiest and fastest procedures you’ll experience at the Dr. Guls Dental Clinic.

Here’s what typically happens:

  • Preparation:
    There’s usually no special preparation required, but you’ll be asked to remove any metal objects such as jewelry, eyeglasses, or hearing aids, as they can interfere with the scan.
  • Positioning:
    You’ll either sit, stand, or lie down in the CBCT machine, while the scanner will rotate around your head once, and the process will take less than a minute.
  • Image Capture:
    As the machine rotates, it captures multiple images from different angles using a low-dose X-ray beam. You’ll need to stay still, but it’s quick and completely painless.
  • Image Processing:
    The computer processes the data instantly, generating a high-resolution 3D image of your entire mouth and facial bones.
  • Review:
    Dr. Gul Zehra will review the images immediately and explain what they reveal. You can even see the 3D view of your own teeth on the screen!

Is CBCT Scan Safe?

Yes, CBCT scans are very safe. The radiation from a CBCT scan is much lower than what you’d be exposed to during a short airplane flight, making it safe and reliable for patients of all ages. 

At Dr. Guls Dental Clinic, we follow strict safety protocols and use the latest equipment designed to minimize radiation exposure while maintaining image quality.

Advantages of CBCT Scans

CBCT technology has transformed modern dentistry by making diagnosis and treatment more precise, efficient, and comfortable. Here are some of the major benefits:

  • Detailed 3D visual: Shows your teeth, nerves, and facial bones in incredible detail.
  • Accurate diagnosis: Detects even the smallest dental issues before they become major problems.
  • Improved treatment outcomes: Helps in planning and executing procedures like implants, braces, and surgeries with greater accuracy.
  • Quick and painless: The scan takes less than a minute, with no discomfort.
  • Low radiation dose: The scan gives only a tiny dose of radiation, making it safe for dental use.
  • Instant results: Images are ready immediately for review.

When Do Dentists Recommend a CBCT Scan?

Dentists may recommend a CBCT scan for various reasons depending on your treatment needs. Some of the most common applications include:

Dental Implants

Before placing dental implants, it’s crucial to assess the bone volume, density, and nerve positioning. CBCT helps create a precise 3D map of your jawbone, ensuring implants are placed at the perfect angle and depth for long-term success.

Root Canal Treatment

CBCT scans help visualize the root structure, detect hidden or curved canals, and locate infection or bone loss that may not appear in standard X-rays. This ensures more accurate and successful root canal treatments.

Braces Planning

For braces or aligners, understanding the position of teeth and jaws is vital. CBCT provides accurate measurements for complex cases and helps to predict how teeth will move during treatment, leading to better results and shorter treatment times.

Wisdom Tooth Evaluation

When wisdom teeth are impacted or close to nerves, CBCT helps your dentist see their exact position, reducing the risk of nerve damage during extraction.

TMJ (Jaw Joint) Disorders

If you experience jaw pain, clicking, or difficulty opening your mouth, CBCT can show detailed images of your temporomandibular joint, helping diagnose and plan treatment for TMJ problems.

Sinus Evaluation

CBCT can reveal the relationship between your upper teeth and sinuses, especially important when planning implants or sinus-lift surgeries.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

For any surgical procedure involving the jaw, CBCT provides a roadmap of the underlying structures, improving safety and predictability.

FAQs

What is the difference between CBCT and regular CT?

CBCT (Cone Beam CT) is specially designed for dental and facial scans. It captures a 3D image of your teeth, jaws, and face in just one quick rotation. A regular CT scan is used for the whole body and gives more detail than what’s usually needed for dental treatment.

In short, CBCT focuses only on your mouth and face, giving clear images your dentist needs with less radiation and faster scanning time than a regular CT.

Is CBCT high radiation?

No, CBCT uses much lower radiation than a regular medical CT scan. It’s designed to be safe and precise for dental use. The radiation level is only slightly higher than that of normal dental X-rays, but the information it provides is far more detailed. So, it’s both safe and effective for diagnosis and treatment planning.

Does CBCT show gum infection?

CBCT mainly shows the bones, teeth, and surrounding structures in 3D. While it can show bone loss or infection near the roots of teeth, it doesn’t directly show soft tissue like gums. However, if there’s a deep infection that affects the bone, your dentist can see it clearly on a CBCT scan and plan the right treatment.
