Dental Imaging

CBCT (Cone Beam CT)

Advanced 3D imaging for precise assessment of teeth, jaws, temporomandibular joints, and facial bones – essential for implant planning, orthodontics, and oral surgery.

Overview

3D precision for your dental health.

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a revolutionary 3D imaging technology that provides detailed, cross‑sectional views of the teeth, jaws, temporomandibular joints, sinuses, and surrounding facial structures. Unlike conventional dental X‑rays that produce 2D images, CBCT creates a three‑dimensional reconstruction of the maxillofacial region, enabling clinicians to assess anatomy with unparalleled accuracy. It is an indispensable tool for dental implant planning, orthodontic assessment, impacted tooth evaluation, and maxillofacial surgery.

CBCT uses a cone‑shaped X‑ray beam that rotates around the patient, capturing multiple images from different angles. These images are then reconstructed into a 3D volume that can be viewed from any orientation. The radiation dose is significantly lower than that of a medical CT scan, making it safe for routine dental use. The resulting images allow precise measurement of bone height, width, and density, identification of vital structures (inferior alveolar nerve, sinus cavities), and accurate planning of surgical procedures.

At Amytri Diagnostics, we use state‑of‑the‑art CBCT equipment with low‑dose protocols and high‑resolution imaging. Our experienced radiologists interpret the scans and provide detailed reports, which are shared with your dentist, orthodontist, or oral surgeon to guide treatment decisions with confidence.

What CBCT covers

  • Dental implant planning – precise assessment of bone volume, quality, and proximity to vital structures
  • Assessment of impacted teeth – position, angulation, and relationship to the inferior alveolar nerve and adjacent structures
  • Orthodontic evaluation – 3D analysis of tooth angulation, root resorption, and airway assessment
  • Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) assessment – joint spaces, degenerative changes, and condylar position
  • Maxillary sinus evaluation – sinus anatomy, pathology, and proximity to implant sites
  • Fracture assessment – mandibular, maxillary, and zygomatic fractures
  • Pathological lesion evaluation – cysts, tumours, and other bony lesions
  • Orthognathic surgery planning – 3D planning for jaw correction procedures
  • Airway assessment – evaluation of the upper airway for sleep apnoea
Why it matters

Essential for precision dental care.

CBCT provides the 3D information necessary for accurate diagnosis, safe treatment planning, and predictable outcomes in modern dentistry and maxillofacial surgery.

Precision

Accurate anatomical assessment

CBCT allows precise measurement of bone volume, nerve position, and sinus dimensions – essential for safe implant placement and surgical planning.

Safety

Minimise surgical risks

By identifying vital structures and assessing bone quality, CBCT reduces the risk of nerve injury, sinus perforation, and implant failure.

Predictability

Plan with confidence

3D planning enables virtual implant placement, orthodontic simulation, and surgical guides – leading to better outcomes and fewer complications.

What we offer

Comprehensive CBCT imaging services.

We provide high‑resolution CBCT scans with advanced reconstruction tools, expert interpretation, and seamless coordination with your dental specialist.

3D Dental Imaging

Full‑field CBCT acquisition of the maxillofacial region – providing multiplanar and 3D volume reconstructions for comprehensive assessment.

Implant Planning

Detailed bone mapping, measurement of height and width, and identification of the inferior alveolar nerve and sinus – facilitating safe implant placement.

Orthodontic Assessment

3D evaluation of tooth angulation, root resorption, eruption patterns, and airway space – essential for orthodontic treatment planning.

TMJ & Sinus Evaluation

Assess temporomandibular joint anatomy, degenerative changes, and condylar position; evaluate sinus pathology and proximity to dental structures.

Impacted Tooth Assessment

Precise localisation of impacted teeth, angulation, and relationship to adjacent structures – aiding surgical extraction planning.

Surgical Planning & 3D Reconstruction

Virtual surgical planning, 3D volume rendering, and segmentation – enabling complex maxillofacial and orthognathic surgery planning.

How it works

Your CBCT journey, step by step.

01
Book

Book your appointment

Call us, WhatsApp, or visit our centre to schedule your CBCT. No special preparation is needed – just remove any metal objects from your head and neck.

02
Prepare

Preparation

Remove jewellery, glasses, hairpins, and any removable dental appliances. You will be asked to wear a lead apron for protection.

03
Scan

CBCT acquisition

You will sit or stand in the CBCT machine, which rotates around your head, capturing multiple images. The scan takes 10–20 seconds for a full field of view, and the entire procedure is quick and comfortable.

04
Report

3D reconstruction and interpretation

The images are reconstructed into a 3D volume. A radiologist reviews the scan and prepares a detailed report – shared with you and your dentist/oral surgeon within 24–48 hours.

Is it for you?

A CBCT is recommended if any of these apply.

It is a key investigation for complex dental and maxillofacial cases – often when 2D imaging is insufficient.

Dental implant planning

CBCT is the gold standard for assessing bone quality, volume, and proximity to vital structures – ensuring safe and predictable implant placement.

Impacted wisdom teeth or canines

CBCT localises the impacted tooth and its relationship to the inferior alveolar nerve, minimising the risk of nerve injury during extraction.

Orthodontic evaluation (complex cases)

For impacted teeth, root resorption, airway assessment, and skeletal analysis – CBCT provides essential 3D information for orthodontic planning.

TMJ disorders

CBCT can evaluate joint spaces, condylar position, and degenerative changes – aiding in the diagnosis of TMD.

Maxillofacial pathology

For cysts, tumours, fractures, and other lesions – CBCT provides detailed 3D visualisation for diagnosis and surgical planning.

Pre‑operative assessment for orthognathic surgery

CBCT is essential for 3D planning of jaw correction surgeries – enabling precise surgical simulations and custom guides.
