CBCT Scan Information

PRP Diagnostic Imaging provides CBCT scans (Cone Beam CT scans), a sophisticated imaging technique offering high-resolution, distortion-free 3D views of teeth, jaw, and surrounding anatomy.

Unlike traditional 2D OPGs, our CBCT 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.

The machine will then gently rotate around your head taking images to create a 3D view of your teeth and jaw. The whole process is completely painless, ultra low dose and takes approximately 2 minutes.
No injections are required for this scan.
