High-Resolution CBCT Scan for Upper & Lower Jaws – 3D Dental Imaging

Description

CBCT Scan (Both Upper and Lower Jaws) – Precision 3D Imaging for Accurate Diagnosis

The Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) Scan of Both Upper and Lower Jaws delivers high-resolution, three-dimensional images of your teeth, jawbones, nerves, sinuses, and surrounding soft tissues — providing unparalleled clarity for accurate diagnosis and advanced treatment planning.

Unlike traditional 2D dental X-rays, this state-of-the-art imaging technology captures a full 360° view of your maxilla (upper jaw) and mandible (lower jaw), allowing dentists, oral surgeons, and orthodontists to assess bone density, nerve pathways, and tooth positioning with sub-millimeter precision.

At Lab Tests Dubai, our CBCT scans are performed using FDA-approved equipment with minimal radiation exposure, ensuring a fast, safe, and comfortable experience — essential for procedures like dental implants, orthodontics, root canals, and impacted wisdom tooth removal.

Why You Need This Test

You need a CBCT Scan of Both Jaws if:

• You’re planning dental implants and need precise bone evaluation
• You’re undergoing orthodontic or Invisalign® treatment
• You have impacted wisdom teeth near nerves or sinuses
• You suffer from TMJ pain, jaw dysfunction, or facial pain
• You require endodontic (root canal) treatment on complex molars
• You’ve had facial trauma or need reconstructive dental surgery

This scan eliminates guesswork, giving your dentist a complete 3D roadmap of your anatomy for safer, more successful outcomes.

Consider booking a CBCT scan if you experience:

• Pain or swelling around wisdom teeth
• Difficulty opening/closing your jaw (possible TMJ disorder)
• Loose or shifting teeth
• Previous failed root canals
• Numbness or tingling in the face or gums
• Planning cosmetic or restorative dental work
• Unexplained dental pain not visible on regular X-rays

These symptoms may point to hidden infections, cysts, nerve compression, or bone loss — only detectable through 3D imaging.

What Happens If Untreated

Ignoring undiagnosed dental issues due to lack of 3D imaging can lead to:

• Failed dental implants due to poor bone assessment
• Nerve damage during extractions or surgeries
• Chronic TMJ pain without proper diagnosis
• Spread of infection leading to abscesses or systemic illness
• Prolonged pain, misdiagnosis, and repeated treatments

A CBCT scan helps prevent complications, saving time, cost, and discomfort in the long run.

How to Prepare for the Test

Preparation is simple:

• No fasting required
• Remove metal objects: glasses, earrings, hearing aids, removable dentures, retainers
• Wear loose, comfortable clothing
• Inform us if you are pregnant or suspect pregnancy
• Continue taking your regular medications

The scan takes under 2 minutes — you’ll stand or sit still while the machine rotates around your head.

Test Overview

FAQs

Q: Is a CBCT scan safe?
A: Yes. It uses very low-dose radiation — significantly less than hospital CT scans — and is considered safe for most patients.

Q: How is it different from a regular dental X-ray?
A: Regular X-rays show 2D flat images; CBCT provides 3D depth, width, and height, revealing hidden structures and spatial relationships.

Q: Can it detect tumors or cysts?
A: Yes. It’s highly effective at identifying cysts, tumors, infections, and bone abnormalities not visible on 2D films.

Q: Do I need a referral?
A: Recommended. Most dentists provide a prescription specifying the field of view (FOV). We accept self-referrals for screening purposes.

Q: Will my dentist get the results?
A: Yes. We provide DICOM files on USB and a radiologist report that you can share directly with your dental team.

Q: Can pregnant women get a CBCT scan?
A: Generally avoided unless absolutely necessary. Please inform us if you’re pregnant.

Q: Is it painful?
A: No. It’s completely non-invasive and painless — just hold still for a few seconds.
