3D CBCT Imaging for Implant Planning
See the full 3D picture before surgery
This example CBCT dataset shows how a full 3D scan allows accurate assessment of bone height, width and proximity to vital structures before placing implants. Your own scan will be tailored to the area requested by your dentist, following IRMER guidelines and the ALARA principle.
Ideal for single implants and full-arch cases
Whether you are having a single implant or an All-on-4 / All-on-6 case, CBCT helps your dentist plan the safest, most predictable treatment pathway. We provide DICOM data compatible with leading implant planning software.

Why CBCT Is Essential for Dental Implant Planning
✔ Accurate bone measurement
CBCT provides precise 3D details of bone height, width and density — essential for safe implant placement and treatment success. For general implant imaging, see our CBCT Scan Birmingham page.
✔ Identifying anatomical risks
Nerve pathways, sinus floors and adjacent roots can be visualised clearly to reduce surgical complications. We also provide wisdom teeth CBCT scans where needed.
✔ Ideal for single or full-arch cases
Whether placing a single implant or planning All-on-4 / All-on-6, CBCT is the gold-standard for assessment and guided surgery. Learn more about our dental CT scans in Birmingham.
✔ Implant-planning compatible
We supply full DICOM datasets, compatible with most software systems including NobelClinician, BlueSkyBio, coDiagnostiX, and SICAT. Dentists can find full referral details on our For Dentists page.
✔ Perfect for sinus lift cases
CBCT shows sinus anatomy, membrane thickness and septa — crucial when planning sinus augmentation. We also offer OPG scans in Birmingham where appropriate.
✔ ALARA-compliant imaging
Every scan is justified and optimised following IRMER guidelines to ensure minimal radiation exposure. Read more about our approach on our Radiation Safety page.

CBCT for Dental Implants – FAQs
Is a CBCT scan always required before dental implants?
In most cases, yes. A 3D scan gives your dentist essential information about bone structure, sinus position and nerve proximity. If you are unsure, you can contact the team for guidance.
How much radiation does a CBCT scan involve?
CBCT doses are typically low and follow strict IRMER/ALARA principles. You can read more on our Radiation Safety page.
Will my dentist receive the files directly?
Yes — your dentist receives a full DICOM dataset, compatible with leading implant planning systems. Referring practices can use our For Dentists section to learn how to refer.
Can I book my CBCT scan myself?
You may enquire directly, but imaging must be justified by a dentist to comply with IRMER regulations. You can contact us or ask your dentist to refer you using our dentist referral information.
