CBCT Scanner

CBCT scans in Kidlington, Oxfordshire

Smile With Us provides on-site dental CBCT scans in Kidlington for our own patients and patients referred by other dental professionals. A cone beam CT scan produces a detailed three-dimensional view of the teeth, jaws and surrounding structures to support diagnosis and treatment planning where a conventional dental X-ray does not provide enough information.

CBCT scan prices

A 3D CBCT scan is from £99. A radiology report is from £110 when required. The exact scan area and whether a report is needed depend on the clinical question and the referring clinician’s instructions. Please see our current fees or contact the team before booking.

What is a dental CBCT scan used for?

• planning dental implants and assessing available bone;
• reviewing complex root canal anatomy;
• assessing impacted or unerupted teeth;
• orthodontic and surgical planning where three-dimensional information is justified;
• examining specific areas that cannot be assessed adequately with standard dental X-rays.

CBCT uses X-rays, so a scan should only be taken when it is clinically justified. Your dentist or referring clinician will decide whether it is appropriate and which area needs to be scanned.

What happens during the scan?

We position you carefully and ask you to remain still while the scanner moves around your head. The image capture itself is brief, although the full appointment allows time for positioning and checks. The practice is wheelchair accessible; please tell us about any mobility or positioning needs when you book so we can plan your visit.

If you are having treatment at Smile With Us, your dentist will explain why a scan may help and how the result affects your options. If another dentist has asked you to arrange a scan, please have the referral details available. Call 01865 371 160 or contact us.
