What is a CBCT Scanner?
A Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) or pano scanner is a cutting-edge piece of dental technology that allows dentists to create 3D images of teeth, soft tissues, nerve pathways, and bone in a single scan. It’s a type of X-ray equipment that’s used when regular dental or facial X-rays are not sufficient. CBCT is non-invasive, safe, and provides detailed images that are crucial for precise diagnosis and treatment planning.
