WHAT IS A CT SCANNER

A CT scanner (Computerised Tomography) is an advanced type of x-ray used when regular dental or facial x-rays are not sufficient. A CT scanner can produce three-dimensional (3-D) images of your teeth, soft tissues, nerve pathways and bone in a single scan, which can often be necessary for some treatments and allow for a more precise treatment planning.

CT imaging is considered one of the best and fastest instruments for examining the body because it can provide cross-sectional views of the required area and produce highly detailed images.

HOW LONG WILL A CT SCAN TAKE & IS IT SAFE

CT scan is an extremely valuable technology, which allows our implant dentists, orthodontists, and oral surgeons to create detailed treatment plans. Typically, a CT scan session will take only around 10-15 minutes.

CT scans are non-invasive, completely painless and require no recovery time afterward. The radiation dose is only marginally higher than it is during a standard X-ray scan.
