At Cathedral Dental Clinic, we offer a full suite of advanced digital imaging facilities such as CBCT for 3D scans, OPT for 2D scans and Intro oral X-Rays. Our state-of-the-art digital equipment supports our expert clinicians for precise diagnosis, effective treatment, and offers a more comfortable patient experience.

Whether you are planning dental implants, straightening your teeth, monitoring gum health or looking to have your routine dental care, our innovative digital imaging tools ensure clarity, accuracy and confidence at every step.

CBCT Scans (Cone Beam Computed Tomography)

CBCT scanners produce instant & highly detailed 3D images of your teeth, jawbone, nerves and surrounding tissues at a low radiation level.

The CBCT 3D technology allows for safer and more accurate dental procedures, especially in complex or surgical cases.

CBCT scans are used in dentistry for:

• Implant planning
• Sinus evaluation for implant placements
• Root canal treatment
• Surgical extractions, including wisdom teeth
• Jaw joint (TMJ) assessments

OPT Scans (Orthopantomogram)

OPT scans, also known as OPG or Panoramic X-Rays, are a broad diagnostic tool offering a 2D panoramic view of your entire mouth within a single image and at a low radiation level.

OPT scans are quick and non-invasive – ideal for new patient assessments and pre-treatment planning.

OPT scans are used in dentistry for:

• Wisdom tooth evaluations
• Orthodontic planning
• Detecting infections or cysts
• Reviewing jawbone structures
• Monitoring periodontal health

IOS (Intra Oral Scan)

Intra Oral Scans (IOS) capture high-definition 3D images of your teeth, gums, and soft tissues in real time. This mess-free, quick, and highly accurate technology enhances comfort and speeds up processes for orthodontic and restorative treatments such as implant restorations, crowns, bridges, and dentures.

Patients can see a digital model of their teeth instantly, making treatments more interactive and engaging, and helping them visualize their treatment.

Our Intra Oral scanner’s benefits include:

• Faster crown, bridge, and orthodontic workflows
• Increased comfort with no putty impressions
• Instant visualization of treatment options
• Enhanced communication between dentists and patients

X-rays

X-rays, also known as Radiographs, are a localised 2D image of the interior of teeth, surrounding structures & gums.
There are two types of X-rays: Bitewing and IOPA, which are routinely used during oral
examinations to assist your dentist with checking, monitoring, diagnosing problems, and planning treatments with precision.

Bitewing X-rays

Bitewing X-rays show the upper and lower back teeth in one image.

Bitewing X-rays are used for detecting:

• Cavities between teeth
• Bone loss from gum disease
• Problems under old fillings or crowns

IOPA (Intraoral Periapical) X-rays

IOPA X-rays focus on one or two teeth at a time, showing the entire tooth and the surrounding bone.

IOPA X-rays are used for detecting:

• Tooth infections or abscesses
• Deep decay
• Root and bone problems
• Progress of root canal treatments
• Root shape for extraction planning
