Advanced 3D Imaging for Precise, Predictable Care
CBCT (Cone Beam CT) is a cutting-edge imaging technology we use at Oxford Lakes Dental Care to give our doctors a complete, detailed view of your teeth, jaws, nerves, airway and bone – all in a single, fast scan. Unlike traditional X-rays, which create flat, two-dimensional images, CBCT produces a full three-dimensional model of your oral structures with remarkable clarity. This allows our team to understand your oral health more accurately and identify issues that might otherwise go undetected.
Why CBCT Matters
Because CBCT captures far more detail than standard dental X-rays, it allows us to diagnose and plan treatment with exceptional confidence. Whether we are evaluating bone for dental implants, assessing wisdom teeth, checking for infection, or examining your airway, this technology provides precise information we can rely on. It also helps us communicate more clearly with you – your doctor can show you your own 3D images right on the screen and walk you through what we see.
Quick, Comfortable & Noninvasive
The CBCT scan itself is fast and easy, typically taking less than 20 seconds. During the scan, you’ll remain still while the unit makes a smooth rotation around your head. The process is open, comfortable, and uses far less radiation than a standard medical CT scan.
With CBCT, our dentist can provide safer, more predictable, and more personalized care – ensuring we have a complete picture before beginning any treatment.
