CT dental scan information

PRP Diagnostic Imaging provides CT Dental Scans (Dentascan), a sophisticated imaging technique offering high-resolution, 3D views of teeth, jaw, and surrounding anatomy.

Unlike traditional 2D OPGs, our Dentascan technology provides invaluable additional detail, enabling a more precise diagnosis and evaluation of dental abnormalities.

We utilise this advanced modality to thoroughly assess bone structure, detect pathology, and determine dental implant suitability, offering dental and maxillofacial surgeons a crucial 3D perspective for patient care.

Your Images and Report

After your examination, the most pertinent images from your study will be available on the myPRP patient portal. A report, along with the images will be sent directly to your referring doctor. PRP will store digital copies of all studies on our secure database for comparison with any future examinations.Please bring any previous X-rays with you.

It is important that you return to your doctor with your examination results. Whether they are normal or abnormal, your doctor needs to know promptly so that a management plan can be formulated.

What happens during your procedure?

During your CT Dental Scan, one of our highly trained technicians will ask you to lay on your back on the scanner.
You may be asked to bite on a syringe to separate your teeth to enable a clearer picture, or your dental specialist may have provided a template to place in your mouth during the scan.
You will then pass in and out of the scanner several times.
The scan will take approx 3-5 minutes, after which you will be assisted off the scanner and can go home.
No injections are required for this scan.
