At London Dental Specialists, we utilise advanced 3D imaging technology (CBCT scans) to enhance our root canal treatments. These specialised scans provide detailed three-dimensional views of your teeth, surrounding tissues, and nerve pathways that conventional x-rays simply cannot capture. In less than a minute, our CBCT system takes hundreds of images from various angles, allowing our endodontists to precisely visualise infected tissue within the canal and around the root. This detailed insight helps us make accurate diagnoses, particularly in complex cases involving root resorption or unusual canal anatomy. Many patients have questions about this technology, its applications, and benefits for their treatment. Below, we've answered the most common queries about CBCT scans for root canal procedures.
3D Imaging using Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is an advanced diagnostic tool that provides detailed three-dimensional images of dental structures, including intricate root canal anatomy. At London Dental Specialists, our state-of-the-art CBCT scanner captures hundreds of highly detailed images in just seconds, creating a comprehensive 3D model of your teeth, roots, and surrounding tissues. This technology allows our endodontists to visualize complex root canal systems, detect hidden infections, identify additional canals, and plan treatments with exceptional precision, significantly improving the success rates of root canal procedures.
CBCT scanning at London Dental Specialists is completely painless and non-invasive. During the scan, you will sit comfortably while the scanner rotates around your head, capturing images without making physical contact with your mouth or teeth. The procedure is quick, typically taking only 10-20 seconds for the actual scan. Unlike traditional X-rays, there's no need to place film or sensors inside your mouth, eliminating any potential discomfort. This makes CBCT scanning an ideal diagnostic tool even for patients with dental anxiety or sensitive gag reflexes.
The cost of a CBCT scan for root canal diagnosis at London Dental Specialists typically ranges from £150 to £300. The exact price depends on the specific region being scanned (single tooth, quadrant, or full arch) and whether the scan is part of a comprehensive endodontic treatment plan. When incorporated into complex root canal treatments, the CBCT scan may be included in the overall treatment fee. We provide transparent pricing during your consultation and offer various payment options. While representing an additional cost, CBCT scanning often prevents treatment complications and retreatments, potentially saving costs in the long term.
At London Dental Specialists, a CBCT scan for root canal anatomy takes approximately 20-30 minutes for your complete appointment. The actual scanning time is remarkably quick—just 10-20 seconds for the scanner to capture all necessary images. The remaining time involves positioning you correctly for the scan, adjusting settings based on your specific diagnostic needs, and the initial review of images by our specialists. This efficient process minimizes your time in the chair while providing our endodontists with the detailed information they need for precise diagnosis and treatment planning.
Preparation for a CBCT scan at London Dental Specialists is minimal and straightforward. You'll be asked to remove any metal objects such as jewelry, eyeglasses, hearing aids, or removable dental appliances that might interfere with the imaging. There's no need for special dietary restrictions or medication adjustments before the scan. Upon arrival, our team will briefly explain the procedure and position you comfortably in the scanner. For patients with dental anxiety, we take extra time to ensure you feel relaxed and informed. The entire preparation process typically takes just 5-10 minutes before proceeding with the scan.
You may be a good candidate for a CBCT scan at London Dental Specialists if:
Yes, the radiation from CBCT scans at London Dental Specialists is considered safe and is kept at the lowest dose necessary for diagnostic purposes. Our modern CBCT equipment uses significantly less radiation than traditional medical CT scans—typically 10-50 times lower. A single CBCT scan exposes you to roughly the same amount of radiation as 2-3 days of natural background radiation. We follow the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) by using focused fields of view, optimized settings, and lead aprons when appropriate. For most patients, the substantial diagnostic benefits far outweigh the minimal radiation exposure risks.
