Our story
Birmingham CBCT & OPG Hub was created to give dentists and patients in the West Midlands easy access to high-quality dental imaging without needing to travel into central London or a hospital setting. We are based at 341 Birmingham Road, Great Barr, Birmingham B43 7AP, in the same building as our sister dental practice.
The service is run by a local dental team who use CBCT and OPG scans every day in their own treatment planning. We understand the information dentists need for implants, wisdom teeth, endodontics and orthodontics, and have designed the hub around clarity, safety and a calm experience for patients.
If you are attending for a scan and have any questions about directions, parking or accessibility, please contact the team and we will be happy to help. You can also see our current scan fees on the Prices page.
What matters to us
We focus on three simple things: safe imaging, clear information and respectful care. Every scan is clinically justified, carried out using the ALARA principle (as low as reasonably achievable) and tailored to the clinical question your dentist needs answered. You can read more about our approach on our Radiation Safety page.
We know that many people feel nervous about X-rays and CT scans. We take time to explain what will happen, how long it will take, and what your dentist will do with the results. Our aim is that you leave feeling informed, not rushed.
Clear imaging
We focus on image quality that makes decision-making easier for your dentist – correct field of view, clear views of vital structures and formats that integrate smoothly into modern dental software. This applies across all our scans, including CBCT and OPG.
Good communication
We keep things simple and responsive for referring dentists – clear referral forms, updates if we have any concerns, and fast, secure transfer of scan data and reports. More information is available on our For Dentists page.
Respect for patients
We treat every person who attends the hub with the same care and courtesy we would expect for our own families – clear explanations, privacy, and time for questions. If you are due to attend for a scan and feel anxious, please let our team know when you book online or get in touch.
