Preparing for your appointment helps ensure all goes smoothly.
Cone Beam CT (CBCT)
Queensland Radiology Specialists provides advanced Cone Beam CT (CBCT) for detailed, high-resolution 3D imaging of the head, neck, and dental structures. CBCT is a specialised type of CT scan that produces precise images while minimising radiation exposure.
Availability: CBCT scans are available at our Mount Gravatt and Chermside clinics.
What Is a CBCT Scan?
CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) uses a cone-shaped X-ray beam and computer processing to create detailed 3D images of bones, teeth, jaw, sinuses, and facial structures.
CBCT is commonly used for:
- Dental implant planning
- Assessment of teeth and jaw bone
- Impacted or unerupted teeth evaluation
- Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) assessment
- Sinus and airway evaluation
- Pre- and post-surgical planning
CBCT provides more precise detail than standard dental X-rays, allowing better diagnosis and treatment planning.
