Frequently Asked Questions
What is a CBCT scan?
A CBCT scan, or Cone Beam Computed Tomography scan, is a specialised type of dental X-ray that creates detailed three-dimensional images of your teeth, jaws, bone and surrounding structures. It allows your dentist to examine areas that may not be clearly visible on a standard two-dimensional X-ray.
How is a CBCT scan different from a standard dental X-ray?
A standard dental X-ray produces a flat, two-dimensional image. A CBCT scan captures a three-dimensional view, allowing the dentist to examine the height, width and depth of the jaw and surrounding anatomy from different angles. This additional detail can support more accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
Why is CBCT useful for dental implant planning?
CBCT imaging allows the dentist to assess the amount and quality of available bone, identify important structures such as nerves and sinuses, and plan the position, angle and size of a dental implant more precisely. Planmeca’s imaging software can also support digital implant planning and the design of surgical guides where appropriate.
Is a CBCT scan safe?
CBCT scans use X-rays, so they involve a small amount of radiation. They should only be recommended when the expected clinical benefit outweighs the exposure. The scan can be adjusted to the area and level of detail required, helping to keep the radiation dose as low as reasonably possible.

Yes. Wolds Dental Studio has an in-house Planmeca ProMax 3D Classic CBCT scanner, allowing suitable patients to have their scan and treatment planning completed in the same practice without travelling to a separate imaging centre.
