At Precision Periodontics, we use advanced CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) scans to support accurate diagnosis and precise treatment planning. This cutting-edge 3D dental imaging technology allows us to deliver safe, predictable, and high-quality periodontal and dental implant care.
What Is a CBCT Scan?
A CBCT scan is a specialised dental X-ray that produces detailed three-dimensional images of the teeth, jawbone, nerves, sinuses, and surrounding oral structures. Unlike traditional 2D dental X-rays, CBCT imaging provides a complete view of your oral anatomy, allowing for more accurate assessment and planning.
Why CBCT Imaging Is Used in Periodontics
CBCT scans play a critical role in periodontal and implant dentistry, helping us to:
- Assess bone loss and bone quality
- Diagnose periodontal disease and infections
- Plan dental implant placement with precision
- Identify nerves, sinuses, and vital structures
- Evaluate complex or high-risk cases

Applications of CBCT in Periodontal Care
CBCT imaging supports various specialised treatments, allowing for exceptional accuracy and results. It is especially valuable in the following areas:
01
Dental Implant Placement
CBCT helps us create a 3D model of your jaw, ensuring precise implant positioning. This reduces risks and ensures optimal function and aesthetics.
02
Diagnosing Complex Cases
Whether it’s an impacted tooth, a root fracture, or an unidentifiable dental issue, CBCT uncovers details that traditional X-rays cannot detect.
03
Periodontal Disease Management
We use CBCT to assess bone health, plan regenerative treatments, and manage gum disease with accuracy and efficiency.
04
Comprehensive Orthodontic and Endodontic Support
From planning orthodontic treatments to conducting root canal procedures, CBCT provides the clarity required for intricate and customised care.
