CBCT/3D X-Ray

Cone-Beam Computer Tomography (CBCT), is a new technology that is becoming increasingly popular in dentistry for its ability to create a 3D map of your jaw and mouth. This allows us to create Implants that fit comfortably into your jawline, improving both the comfort and aesthetics they provide.

Our dental and healthcare professionals may offer you a CBCT or “3D X-Ray” when you are under consideration for a Dental Implant or other Reconstructive Dental procedure that may benefit from the fine-degree information it provides.

Woburn Sands Dental is proud to be at the cutting edge of dental technology. If our dental and healthcare professionals approve them, we try to be the first to adopt new treatments and diagnostic procedures when they are tested and approved for use. This imaging technique is so valuable that we chose to be among the first Dental Practices to adopt the technology in the UK.

CBCT imaging offers many advantages over traditional 2D X-rays. The ability to capture high-resolution, three-dimensional images allows for much greater precision when planning treatments such as dental implants, bone grafting, and other reconstructive procedures. This precision leads to more accurate diagnoses, reduces the risk of complications, and ensures that treatments are tailored specifically to your unique dental anatomy. Whether you’re undergoing a complex procedure or routine diagnostics, CBCT provides a level of detail that is unmatched by standard imaging techniques.

In addition to its diagnostic benefits, CBCT also improves patient safety and comfort. The process is quick and non-invasive, reducing the amount of time you spend in the dental chair. Furthermore, CBCT uses a lower dose of radiation compared to traditional medical CT scans, making it a safer option for routine use in dentistry. This advanced imaging is ideal for patients with more complex dental needs or those requiring detailed treatment planning for conditions such as impacted teeth, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, and even airway assessments.

At Woburn Sands Dental, we are committed to providing the highest standard of care using the latest technology. CBCT helps us deliver accurate, efficient, and minimally invasive treatments, giving our patients peace of mind and better outcomes. If you are considering dental implants or other reconstructive procedures, our team will guide you through the benefits of CBCT imaging and how it can enhance your treatment experience.
