CBCT Scanner
CBCT Scanner in Shenstone
At Shenstone Dental Centre, we use advanced CBCT scanning to plan treatments with a high level of accuracy, particularly for dental implants. This means we can plan your treatment with confidence and avoid unnecessary surprises
A CBCT scan is a detailed 3D scan of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures. It allows us to see bone levels, nerve positions, and facial anatomy far more clearly than standard X-rays.
This allows us to plan your treatment with a level of precision that simply isn’t possible with standard X-rays.
We are one of the only practices in the Lichfield area with an in-house CBCT scanner, meaning your treatment can be planned and carried out all in one place.
Every patient having dental implants with us will have a CBCT scan as part of their treatment planning. This ensures your treatment is safe, precise, and designed for long-term success. It also helps us determine whether implants are suitable for you in the first place.
Why CBCT scanning is important
CBCT allows us to plan your treatment with confidence. By seeing everything in 3D, we can assess your jaw and surrounding structures in far greater detail.
- Accurately assess bone quality and volume
- Identify important areas such as nerves and sinuses
- Plan implant placement with precision
- Reduce risks and improve long-term results
This level of detail helps us deliver safer, more predictable treatment and better outcomes for our patients in Shenstone, Lichfield and surrounding areas.
