Why do I need a 3D bone scan?

A 3D bone scan, also known as a CBCT scan, is an important part of planning dental implant treatment. It allows your dentist to accurately assess the quantity and quality of bone available for implant placement and identify important anatomical structures such as nerves, sinuses and neighbouring tooth roots.

Unlike traditional dental x-rays, a CBCT scan provides a detailed three-dimensional view of your jaw. This helps your dentist determine whether dental implants are suitable for you, identify any additional procedures that may be required, and carefully plan the position of each implant before treatment begins.

At Perth Dental Implant Centre, we believe thorough planning is essential for achieving predictable outcomes. By using 3D imaging, we can minimise risks and develop a treatment plan tailored to your individual anatomy.

We have in-house CBCT scanners at both of our clinics, allowing us to complete your scan during your consultation and discuss the results with you on the same day. The cost of a 3D bone scan is $226.
