Discover detailed 3D dental imaging with CBCT scans at Medicare Clinic in Reading. Our scans help dentists assess your teeth and jawbone, supporting diagnosis and treatment planning when more detail is needed than standard dental X-rays can provide.
A clearer view can make a difference when planning dental treatment. At Medicare Clinic in Reading, we offer CBCT scans to provide detailed, three-dimensional images of the teeth and jaws, helping clinicians assess dental structures and plan care when additional imaging is needed.
CBCT stands for Cone Beam Computed Tomography. It is a type of X-ray examination that produces a three-dimensional view of your teeth, tooth roots, jawbone and surrounding bony structures.
Unlike a standard dental X-ray, which produces a flat image, CBCT allows your clinician to examine the scanned area from different angles and in cross-sections. This helps reveal the position and relationship of structures that may overlap on conventional images.
CBCT is used when a clinical assessment and standard X-rays do not provide enough information. It is not a routine requirement for every dental patient. Patient information: RadiologyInfo
Your dentist or specialist may recommend CBCT for:
Complex root canal treatment is another possible indication. CBCT can help assess root anatomy and the surrounding bone when additional detail is needed for diagnosis or treatment planning. It is not necessary for every root canal procedure.
The team will explain the examination and position your head carefully. The scanner then rotates around your head while you remain still. You may be asked to remove glasses, jewellery, hearing aids or removable dental appliances that could affect the images.
The scan is painless and does not usually require an injection or anaesthetic. Afterwards, you can normally return straight to your usual activities.
Frequently Asked Questions
Image capture usually takes less than a minute. Your appointment will take longer to allow for checks, preparation and positioning. Please ask our team about the expected appointment length when booking.
You can usually eat and drink normally. No special preparation is generally needed, but follow any individual instructions provided by your clinician. Tell the team about removable dental appliances and bring any requested referral documents.
Dental CBCT scanners generally rotate around your head rather than placing your whole body inside a tunnel. If you feel anxious or claustrophobic, let the team know before the examination.
Yes. A standard CBCT scan requires no recovery time, so you can normally drive, work, eat and drink as usual afterwards.
Yes. CBCT uses X-rays and carries a small radiation-related risk. The dose varies with the area scanned and the settings used. The clinical benefit should outweigh the risk, and exposure should be kept as low as reasonably practicable while obtaining the information needed.
Tell the team before your scan. Your clinician will assess whether the examination is needed at that time or whether it can be postponed.
Contact Medicare Clinic Reading to discuss the booking process and any referral information required. A clinician must assess whether CBCT is appropriate for your dental needs.
The images need to be reviewed and interpreted before the findings can guide your care. Please ask our team about reporting arrangements, how results will be shared and the expected turnaround time.
Current pricing for the scan you need and confirmation of what is included, including any reporting fees can be found in the fees section.
