At Mavis Dental Centre, we constantly strive to enhance the quality of our services. As part of this endeavour, we introduce our in-office CBCT 3D Imaging service. CBCT or Cone Beam Computed Tomography scanning enables us to accurately identify your dental issues and plan an effective treatment process accordingly – all at our clinic itself.
So, if you are planning for dental procedures like tooth extraction or dental implants, you need not worry about visiting an imaging centre for scanning. Our in-office CBCT 3D Imaging makes your task easy and your treatment safe and precise.
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scanning is an advanced digital X-ray technology that uses a cone-shaped X-ray beam to produce a high-resolution 3D image of your teeth, jaw, surrounding bones and soft tissues. When compared to the traditional CT scan, CBCT scanning uses lower radiation doses and offers more detailed information, and that too, in just a few seconds.
It allows our dental experts to make a more accurate diagnosis of your oral health and decide on the most effective treatment plan.
At Mavis Dental Centre, we use CBCT scans for several advanced dental procedures.
With accurate details about bone density, height and location of important structures (nerves and sinuses), we plan safe and stable placement of the implant.
With 3D images of the teeth and jaws, our dental experts easily understand complicated bite problems and jaw issues and plan for braces, aligners and jaw surgeries accordingly.
The scan reveals the exact location of the teeth, roots, and nearby nerves. This enables us to perform the tooth extraction and tooth removal procedures smoothly and safely.
With clear visuals of jaw joints (TMJ) and sinus areas, our dentists accurately point out the related problems that are causing dental issues and plan out an effective treatment plan.
CBCT scan reveals what regular X-rays cannot - a clear view of the root canals and deep infection in them. Extremely crucial information that makes our root canal treatment more effective.
Why bother travelling to an imaging centre when everything is available right at our dental clinic? It’s super convenient.
With CBCT scanning, the diagnosis of your dental issues and the following treatment plan become more accurate.
Unlike traditional CT scans, CBCT scanning exposes you to lower radiation doses, thus making it a safer option.
This scanning process is completely non-invasive and painless. What’s more, it takes less than a minute to complete.
The results are out in a few minutes, so your treatment begins immediately. Absolutely no delays.
There is absolutely no need to be anxious during a CBCT scan. The process is simple and comfortable.
You will be asked to either sit down or stand during the scanning. You will need to stay still while the machine rotates all around your head, capturing several images from different angles. Simple, isn’t it?
Are you worried that the process will take too long or leave you exhausted? No chance! The entire process takes less than a minute to complete, so it is going to be over even before you realize it.
When the scanning takes so little time, how can the results take any longer? The digital 3D imaging results come right away, so your diagnosis and treatment process start immediately.
You don’t need to do anything (like fasting) to prepare for the scanning. Just inform us in case you are pregnant or have any medical conditions. Any metal items, like jewellery or watches, will be removed during scanning. Post scanning, you can simply return to your daily routine.
Traditional X-rays provide 2D images of your teeth and the area around them. In contrast, a CBCT scan provides a 3D visual of teeth, jaw, and surrounding bone and soft tissues. Therefore, the information gathered through CBCT scanning is much more detailed and precise - very crucial for complex diagnosis and dental procedures.
Yes, a CBCT scan is safe. It exposes you to a much lower level of radiation when compared to a traditional CT scan. The exposure is also controlled and limited to areas which require scanning. The time taken for the scan is also under a minute.
The procedure takes less than a minute, and you don’t need to make any special preparations for it. However, if you are pregnant (or if there is a possibility of it) or have any medical condition, you do need to inform us. The procedure itself is painless, non-invasive and quick, so you will not feel any discomfort. Once the scanning is over, you can simply return to your daily routine.
Yes, we treat people of all age groups.
With our in-clinic CBCT 3D Imaging service, we ensure that our patients receive the care they deserve – accurate diagnosis as well as a quick, hassle-free and personalised treatment plan. This advanced scanning technology enables us to identify dental issues and plan all our treatment plans with high precision and low risk.
If you are planning an extraction, implant or any other form of advanced dental treatment, visit us at Mavis Dental Centre. With the help of our in-office CBCT scan, we can better identify your problem and offer you the highest standard of treatment.
