CBCT
Advanced Dental Imaging for Precise Treatment Planning
At Poulton Dental Care & Implant Centre, we are proud to provide CBCT scans in Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancashire, offering our patients access to the very latest in dental imaging technology. A CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) scan produces detailed 3D images of the teeth, jawbone, soft tissues, and surrounding structures, allowing our clinicians to plan treatments with a level of accuracy that standard dental X-rays simply cannot match.
Whether you are considering dental implants, oral surgery, orthodontics, or complex restorative treatment, CBCT technology provides the clearest picture of your dental health. With this advanced imaging available right here in Poulton, our patients no longer need to travel to hospital radiology departments. Instead, we deliver high-quality diagnostics in the comfort of our modern dental practice.
Benefits of CBCT Scans
Clearer, More Accurate Images
CBCT scans produce highly detailed 3D images, enabling our dentists to view the teeth, roots, bone density, and surrounding tissues from every angle. This level of precision makes it easier to identify issues and plan effective treatment.
Improved Dental Implant Planning
For patients considering dental implants, CBCT scans are invaluable. They provide accurate measurements of bone quality and density, helping us decide the best implant placement. This ensures more predictable results and reduces risks during surgery.
Safer and More Targeted Treatments
With clearer images, we can minimise invasive procedures by focusing only on the exact area that needs attention. This leads to safer treatment with shorter recovery times.
