CBCT Scan Philippines: Advanced 3D Imaging at Affinity Dental Clinics

At Affinity Dental Clinics, we believe that successful treatment begins with the right diagnosis—and that means seeing more than just what’s on the surface. Our Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) Scan is a powerful 3D imaging tool that gives our dentists a complete view of your teeth, jawbones, nerves, sinuses, and other critical structures—so we can plan your treatment safely, precisely, and confidently.

Available at Affinity Dental Clinics Makati, our CBCT Scanner plays a vital role in our advanced dental procedures—especially dental implants, oral surgery, root canal treatment, and orthodontics.

What is a CBCT Scan?

A CBCT Scan (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) is a special type of dental imaging that captures highly detailed three-dimensional (3D) images of your mouth, jaw, and surrounding structures. Unlike regular X-rays that show only flat, two-dimensional views, CBCT gives us a full 360-degree view—helping us spot what traditional scans might miss.

• Painless, quick, and non-invasive
• Takes only 10–20 seconds
• Uses a cone-shaped X-ray beam with low radiation
• Provides cross-sectional views from every angle
• Ideal for surgical planning, implant mapping, nerve tracing, and root canal evaluation

Why We Use CBCT at Affinity Dental Clinics

CBCT is not a routine scan for every patient—but when needed, it becomes one of the most important diagnostic tools we use. At Affinity Dental Clinics, we use CBCT imaging to ensure:

• Maximum safety during surgery or implants
• Accurate diagnosis of hidden or complex dental conditions
• Better outcomes for advanced procedures
• Treatment plans tailored to your anatomy

The scan is done at our Makati clinic, but patients from all our locations—including BGC, Alabang, Ortigas, Parañaque, and Cebu—are referred here if a CBCT is recommended by their attending dentist or specialist.

Clinical Applications of CBCT Scan at Affinity Dental Clinics

Here’s how we use CBCT in actual patient care:

1️⃣
Dental Implants: One of the most common uses of CBCT.
  • Measures bone height, width, and density
  • Maps out critical structures like sinuses and nerves
  • Helps fabricate surgical guides for safe implant placement
  • Ideal for single, multiple, full-arch, and All-on-X implants

Without CBCT, placing dental implants becomes a guessing game. With it, we plan with accuracy and confidence.

2️⃣
Oral Surgery: From wisdom tooth extractions to complex bone grafts, CBCT gives us a clear roadmap.
  • Evaluates impacted or supernumerary teeth
  • Assesses bone for grafting or sinus lift procedures
  • Detects cysts, lesions, tumors, and other abnormalities
  • Helps in planning TMJ surgery, apicoectomy, or jaw fracture repair
3️⃣
Root Canal Treatment (Endodontics): When standard X-rays don’t show the full story.
  • Reveals complex root canal systems or extra canals
  • Locates fractures, resorptions, and hidden infections
  • Useful for retreatment and apicoectomy planning
  • Provides 3D mapping for precision in difficult cases

CBCT is especially valuable in posterior teeth with multiple roots or previously treated teeth that remain painful.

4️⃣
Orthodontics: Planning braces or aligners requires more than just teeth alignment—it’s also about bones and jaws.
  • Assists in cephalometric analysis
  • Measures jaw proportions and bite discrepancies
  • Identifies impacted teeth and their orientation
  • Helps in Invisalign, braces, and jaw growth monitoring
5️⃣
TMJ Disorders: While not its most common use, CBCT can assist in evaluating Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) problems.
  • Visualizes joint anatomy and condylar position
  • Detects bone degeneration in arthritic TMJ
  • Helps in diagnosing chronic pain, locking, or clicking

We only recommend this scan for TMJ cases when clinical symptoms suggest a bone-related cause, not for soft tissue evaluation.

6️⃣
Sinus and Airway Evaluation: CBCT can reveal problems that may affect breathing or complicate oral surgeries.
  • Detects mucosal thickening and sinus pathology
  • Assesses airway space for possible sleep apnea issues
  • Important for sinus lift procedures during implants
