Digital 3D X-ray — a clear picture before every decision
Some things cannot be seen on an ordinary X-ray. With three-dimensional diagnostics (CBCT) we see bone, roots, nerves and sinuses spatially — allowing us to plan more precisely, gently and safely.
More certainty through spatial images
A classic X-ray is flat — fine structures overlap. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) creates a three-dimensional image of the jaw. This makes it possible to assess position, distances and hidden changes that remain concealed in two dimensions.
When a 3D image makes the difference
We don't use 3D diagnostics routinely, but when it brings real added value to your treatment — for example in the precise planning of implants or the search for hidden inflammation.
Briefly explained
What does CBCT mean?
Cone-beam computed tomography — a 3D X-ray method specifically for the jaw.
How long does the scan take?
The actual scan takes only a few seconds.
Do I get the images?
On request we make the scans available for co-treating or referring colleagues.
As little radiation as possible
Every X-ray is only taken when medically justified — and with modern, low-radiation equipment. We carefully weigh benefit and effort for each scan.
How a 3D scan works
The scan itself is straightforward and done in a few minutes — no injection, no procedure, no narrow tube.
Set position
You sit or stand upright, the head is gently fixed — nothing more is needed.
Device rotates
The device circles slowly once around the head — painless, only a quiet humming can be heard.
3D image is created
From many individual images the computer calculates a spatial model of your jaw in seconds.
Looking together
We discuss the findings directly on screen. Afterwards no special precautions apply.
Frequently asked
Is a 3D X-ray always necessary?
No. In many cases an ordinary scan is sufficient. We only use CBCT when the spatial information is genuinely needed for a safe decision.
Does health insurance cover the costs?
That depends on the individual case. We discuss possible costs openly with you before a scan is made.
How safe is the examination?
Modern digital devices work with low radiation. We use them deliberately and only when there is justified cause.
Questions about 3D diagnostics?
We are happy to explain whether and when a 3D scan makes sense for your treatment.
