      Dental X-Rays & 3D CBCT

      Advanced imaging for precise diagnosis and efficient treatment planning.

      At Drs. Nicolas & Asp Centers, we use modern dental imaging to diagnose conditions accurately and plan treatments with confidence. From routine dental X-rays to advanced 3D CBCT scans, our technology allows us to see what cannot be detected during a clinical exam alone — helping us provide safer, more predictable care.

      What are

      Dental X-rays

      Dental X-rays are essential diagnostic tools that allow dentists to examine areas beneath the surface — including between teeth, inside roots, and within the jawbone.

      They are used to detect early signs of decay, infection, bone loss, and other conditions that may not yet be visible or causing symptoms.

      At our clinics, digital X-ray systems are used to ensure high image quality with minimal radiation exposure.

      Types of Dental X-Rays We Use

      Bitewing X-Rays

      Used to detect cavities between teeth and monitor bone levels. These are typically part of routine dental check-ups.

      Periapical X-Rays

      Provide a detailed view of the entire tooth — from crown to root — and are commonly used to assess infections or root-related concerns.

      Panoramic X-Rays (OPG)

      Capture a full view of the upper and lower jaws in a single image. Useful for evaluating wisdom teeth, jaw joints, and overall dental structure.

      Intraoral Scanner (3D Digital Impressions)

      In addition to dental X-rays and 3D CBCT, intraoral scanning allows us to capture a precise digital model of your teeth and bite. Using a small handheld scanner, we create a highly accurate 3D image of your smile — without the need for traditional impression materials.

      This technology plays a particularly important role in orthodontics, where precise measurements and detailed visualisation are essential for planning tooth movement and achieving predictable results.

      The process is quick, comfortable, and completed in real time, allowing you to see your teeth clearly and understand your treatment needs more easily.

      Why Intraoral Scanning Is Important

      • Highly accurate 3D models for treatment planning
      • Essential for Invisalign and other orthodontic treatments
      • Improved comfort compared to traditional impressions
      • Immediate digital results with no waiting time
      • Helps you visualise your teeth and treatment more clearly

      3D CBCT Imaging

      Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is an advanced imaging technology that produces a detailed 3D view of the teeth, bone, nerves, and surrounding structures. Unlike traditional X-rays, CBCT allows us to assess depth, volume, and spatial relationships — which is particularly important for complex treatments.

      CBCT for Dental Implant Planning

      CBCT plays a critical role in planning dental implant treatment with precision. Using 3D imaging, our clinicians can evaluate bone density, identify the exact position of nerves and sinuses, and determine the ideal implant placement before treatment begins.

      This level of planning supports:

      • Accurate implant positioning
      • Reduced surgical risks
      • Improved long-term outcomes
      • More predictable aesthetics and function

      Same-Day Dental Implant Planning

      With advanced CBCT technology, implant planning can be carried out on the same day as your consultation.

      By combining 3D imaging with digital workflows, our team can assess your case, plan implant placement, and in suitable cases, proceed with treatment without unnecessary delays.

      This approach helps:

      • Reduce the number of visits
      • Streamline your treatment journey
      • Minimise waiting time between diagnosis and care

      Safety of Dental Imaging

      Modern dental imaging is designed with patient safety in mind.

      Digital X-rays and CBCT scans use controlled, low-dose radiation, and are only recommended when clinically necessary. The benefits of accurate diagnosis and proper treatment planning significantly outweigh the minimal exposure involved.

      Our team follows strict protocols to ensure imaging is used responsibly and appropriately for each patient.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Not always. X-rays are taken only when clinically necessary, based on your dental history, symptoms, and examination findings.

      The scan itself usually takes less than a minute. The process is quick, comfortable, and does not require any special preparation.

      No. CBCT is also used for orthodontics, wisdom teeth assessment, jaw joint evaluation, and diagnosing complex dental conditions.

      In many cases, dental X-rays are covered by insurance as part of routine examinations or when clinically required. Coverage for advanced imaging, such as CBCT scans, may vary depending on your insurance provider and policy.

      Our team will guide you through your coverage, assist with pre-approvals where needed, and help you understand any out-of-pocket costs before proceeding with treatment. We’ll be more than happy to check your coverage for you.
