What is a dental CBCT scan?

A CBCT scan is a 3D X-ray of the jaw and teeth. It allows bone, roots, nerves and sinuses to be assessed in three dimensions, which may be needed, for example, when planning implants or removing wisdom teeth.

Where can I get a CBCT scan in Amsterdam?

Among other places, at Florens Tandartsen at Fannius Scholtenstraat 74 in Amsterdam West, where a CBCT scanner is located in our own practice. You can also come to us on referral from your own dentist or specialist if you are not registered with us.

How much radiation does a CBCT scan involve?

More than an ordinary dental X-ray, but generally less than a medical CT scan. We only take a CBCT scan when it adds value, and use the smallest field of view and the lowest dose needed for the question.

When is a 3D X-ray needed for an implant?

Often, because the implant dentist needs to see in 3D how much bone there is and where the nerves and the maxillary sinus are located. This allows the implant to be planned safely and in the right position.

Can my own dentist refer me to Florens for just a CBCT scan?

Ja. Uw tandarts vult ons verwijsformulier volledig in, u maakt een afspraak en uw tandarts ontvangt de beelden en het verslag.

CBCT scan (3D dental X-ray) in Amsterdam West

CBCT scan

A CBCT scan (cone beam computed tomography) is a three-dimensional X-ray of the jaw and teeth. Whereas an ordinary dental X-ray gives a flat image, a CBCT scan shows the jaw in 3D. Florens Tandartsen has a CBCT scanner in its own practice in Amsterdam West, so you do not need to go elsewhere for this examination.

When is a CBCT scan needed?

We only take a CBCT scan when it genuinely adds something to the diagnosis or treatment. Examples include planning an implant, assessing a wisdom tooth that lies close to a nerve, detecting infections or root fractures, and assessing complex root canals.

Radiation

A CBCT scan involves more radiation than an ordinary dental X-ray, but generally less than a medical CT scan. We choose the smallest possible field of view and the lowest dose that allows the question to be answered properly.
