A CBCT Scan is simply a 3D x-ray. CBCT Scans use dental cone beam computed tomography, a specialized type of x-ray equipment, to take images. CBCT scans provide a fast, non-invasive, low radiation way of answering many clinical questions and provides 3D information rather than 2D (like traditional x-rays offer), which can help with diagnosis, treatment, planning, and evaluation. Your dentist may prescribe a CBCT scan before surgery, extractions, implant placement, among other reasons.
