3D dental CT scanning facility - Referrals welcome

We are fortunate to have a 3D dental cone beam CT scanner at Capel Dental Care. As well as serving our own patient base, we are pleased to offer the facilities of this scanner to other dentist in the area through our referral service.

This scanner produces 3D images for implant dentists, orthodontists, oral surgeons and maxillo-facial surgeons. They enable dentists to accurately plan treatment, examining images produced by the CT scanner from any direction.

3D dental CBCT scans are essential for the accurate placement of dental implants. CBCT scans measure the depth, width and density of the jaw bone, and more importantly the depth of bone in the proximity of nerve canals and sinus cavities in a 3D view to an accuracy of 0.1 mm. Using a 3D dental CBCT scanner for the placement of implants reduces risk and saves time due to fewer visits being required.

How to refer:

To refer a patient for 3d CT scanning, complete and return our referral form or visit our referral section here.

Once we have received your referral, we will contact the patient directly to arrange a convenient time for them to visit for their scan. When this is booked, we will ensure you kept up to date on when they are due in and progress.

The scan will then be sent to you on CD or USB in the post, or sent electronically via We Transfer, depending on your preference.
