FAQ
A Cone Beam CT is an advanced 3D imaging scan that captures highly detailed views of the teeth, jaw, facial bones, sinuses and surrounding structures. It provides three dimensional images that allow clinicians to assess anatomy with exceptional clarity.
CBCT scans are commonly used for dental implant planning, impacted or unerupted teeth, orthodontic assessment, TMJ evaluation, sinus assessment and pre surgical planning. The detailed imaging supports accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
CBCT uses a focused radiation dose limited to the area being examined. The technology is designed to provide detailed imaging while keeping radiation exposure as low as reasonably achievable.
In most cases, no special preparation is required. You may be asked to remove jewellery, glasses or any metal objects around the head and neck before the scan.
The scan is quick and comfortable. Patients remain seated or standing while the scanner rotates around the head, with image acquisition typically completed in under a minute.
Bulk billing eligibility depends on your referral and Medicare criteria. Our team can confirm fees and any out of pocket costs when you book your appointment.
