What Is a CBCT Scan

One rotation. A complete 3D model of your bite.

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is advanced 3D dental imaging that reveals teeth, jawbone, nerves, sinuses and the TMJ in fine detail — far beyond what a flat 2D X-ray can show. At Raydent, this supports dentists, orthodontists, oral surgeons, endodontists, periodontists, prosthodontists, implantologists and ENT specialists with dependable diagnostic imaging.

Diagnostic Accuracy

Cross-sectional 3D views uncover what 2D X-rays miss, from hidden canals to hairline fractures.

Treatment Planning

Precise bone and nerve mapping lets your specialist plan the exact approach before treatment begins.

Surgical Precision

Implant and surgical positions are mapped virtually, reducing surprises in the chair.

Patient Safety

Every protocol follows ALARA, keeping radiation as low as reasonably achievable.

Clinical Predictability

Detailed imaging translates into fewer unknowns and more predictable outcomes.

Long-Term Success

Better diagnosis upfront supports treatment that holds up for years, not months.

Common Applications

Built for every corner of dental specialty care

Select a specialty to see how our CBCT scans support diagnosis and planning.

Dental Implant Planning

Successful Dental Implant Planning begins with precise CBCT imaging, providing detailed 3D views of the jawbone for accurate treatment planning. It helps evaluate bone density, measure bone height and width, perform nerve mapping, assess the maxillary sinus, and determine the ideal implant position before surgery.

With advanced virtual implant planning, dentists can simulate implant placement, reduce surgical risks, and protect vital anatomical structures. This technology enhances treatment accuracy, improves patient safety, shortens procedure time, and increases the long-term success of dental implants.

  • Bone density assessment:
  • Bone height and width measurement
  • Nerve mapping
  • Sinus evaluation
  • Virtual implant planning

Endodontics (Root Canal Treatment)

CBCT imaging plays a crucial role in Endodontics (Root Canal Treatment) by providing high-resolution 3D images of the tooth and surrounding structures. It helps detect extra root canals, identify root fractures, diagnose periapical infections, and evaluate cases of failed root canal treatment with exceptional accuracy.

With detailed visualization of complex root anatomy, CBCT enables precise diagnosis and effective treatment planning. This advanced imaging technology improves clinical decision-making, enhances treatment success, minimizes complications, and helps preserve the natural tooth whenever possible.

  • Extra canal detection
  • Root fractures
  • Periapical infections
  • Failed root canal evaluation
  • Complex root anatomy

Orthodontics

CBCT imaging is an essential tool in Orthodontics, providing detailed 3D visualization for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. It helps evaluate impacted teeth, analyze jaw relationships, perform airway assessment, and assess skeletal growth for comprehensive orthodontic care.

With precise anatomical information, CBCT enhances orthodontic treatment planning, enabling clinicians to make informed decisions, improve treatment outcomes, reduce complications, and deliver more predictable, personalized care for patients of all ages.

  • Impacted teeth
  • Jaw relationship analysis
  • Airway assessment
  • Skeletal growth evaluation
  • Treatment planning

Wisdom Tooth Assessment

CBCT imaging provides a comprehensive Wisdom Tooth Assessment by accurately determining the exact position of impacted third molars. It clearly visualizes the tooth's orientation and its relationship with the inferior alveolar nerve, helping clinicians identify potential surgical risks before extraction.

With advanced 3D imaging, CBCT supports precise surgical extraction planning, allowing dentists and oral surgeons to perform safer, more predictable procedures while minimizing the risk of nerve injury, reducing complications, and improving patient outcomes.

  • Exact position of impacted third molars
  • Relationship with the inferior alveolar nerve
  • Surgical extraction planning

TMJ Imaging

CBCT imaging provides detailed 3D visualization for accurate TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) Imaging. It helps diagnose temporomandibular joint disorders, identify joint degeneration, detect condylar abnormalities, and evaluate the overall condition of the jaw joints with exceptional precision.

With comprehensive functional assessment, CBCT enables clinicians to accurately diagnose TMJ conditions, develop effective treatment plans, monitor disease progression, and improve patient comfort through precise and personalized care.

  • Temporomandibular joint disorders
  • Joint degeneration
  • Condylar abnormalities
  • Functional assessment

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

CBCT imaging is invaluable in Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, providing high-resolution 3D images for accurate diagnosis and surgical planning. It helps evaluate facial trauma, detect jaw fractures, assess bone defects, and identify cysts, benign lesions, and other abnormalities with exceptional precision.

By offering detailed visualization of the facial bones and surrounding structures, CBCT supports accurate tumor assessment, improves surgical planning, reduces procedural risks, and enhances treatment outcomes through safer and more predictable maxillofacial care.

  • Facial trauma
  • Jaw fractures
  • Bone defects
  • Cysts
  • Benign lesions
  • Tumor assessment

Periodontology

CBCT imaging plays a vital role in Periodontology by providing detailed 3D visualization of the supporting bone around the teeth. It enables accurate bone loss evaluation, identifies periodontal defects, and helps clinicians assess the severity and extent of periodontal disease.

With precise imaging, CBCT supports effective regenerative treatment planning, allowing periodontists to plan bone grafting and other regenerative procedures with greater accuracy, improving treatment outcomes and long-term periodontal health.

  • Bone loss evaluation
  • Periodontal defects
  • Regenerative treatment planning

Sinus Imaging

CBCT imaging provides comprehensive Sinus Imaging with detailed 3D visualization of the maxillary sinuses. It enables accurate maxillary sinus evaluation, supports precise sinus lift planning for dental implants, and helps identify sinus conditions that may require further clinical attention.

With detailed assessment of the sinus anatomy and airway, CBCT aids in informed treatment planning and facilitates timely ENT referrals when necessary. This advanced imaging improves diagnostic accuracy, enhances patient safety, and supports successful surgical and restorative outcomes.

  • Maxillary sinus evaluation
  • Sinus lift planning
  • ENT referrals
  • Airway assessment
