CBCT stands for "cone beam CT scan." It combines a 3D mouth scanner with state-of-the-art translation software to generate a 3D image of your mouth. CBCT is a little bit like a traditional CT scan in that regard, but it protects your health by minimizing the amount of radiation you're exposed to by 70%. Since too much radiation exposure can have side effects our goal is to reduce yours to levels that are "as low as reasonably achievable" without sacrificing the benefits of generating these highly precise images of your jaw bone and mouth structure.
