3D Dental Imaging (CBCT)

Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of successful treatment planning in modern dentistry. Dental tomography (CBCT) is an advanced radiological diagnostic method that provides three-dimensional (3D) imaging of the jaw and tooth structures. Unlike traditional two-dimensional X-rays, this system allows teeth, bone tissue, and surrounding anatomical structures to be examined volumetrically, with millimetric precision. At our Gri Klinik branch in Kadıköy, we offer our patients the safest and most comfortable diagnostic experience through next-generation imaging technology. This allows patients to access clear, detailed information before treatment, including CBCT imaging options available at our Kadıköy clinic.

In Which Cases Is 3D Dental Tomography Used?

The 3D dental imaging technology used at our clinic plays a critical role in analyzing complex cases and simulating surgical procedures. We frequently rely on this method, particularly in the following processes:

• Implant Planning: For evaluating the anatomical suitability of bone volume and density for implant placement.
• Impacted Tooth Surgery: For precisely determining the three-dimensional relationship between wisdom teeth and adjacent nerve tissue.
• Endodontics (Root Canal Treatment): For clarifying extra root canals that might otherwise go undetected, as well as complex root anatomy.
• Jaw Surgery: For determining the boundaries of pathologies such as cysts or tumors, and for analyzing temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.

Accurate Diagnosis for a Safer Treatment Process

Thanks to three-dimensional modeling, all stages of a surgical procedure can be planned digitally before treatment even begins. This shortens operation times while maximizing patient comfort during recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: Is the radiation level in dental tomography high?

Answer The amount of radiation used in dental tomography (CBCT) is significantly lower compared to conventional medical CT scans performed in hospitals. The next-generation digital technology used at our Gri Klinik branch in Kadıköy scans only the target area, keeping the dose to a minimum. This minimal dose is comparable to the natural background radiation we're exposed to in daily life, or to the exposure during an airplane flight — making it well within safe limits.

Question: How long does a dental tomography scan take?

Answer The 3D jaw and dental tomography scans performed at our Kadıköy branch are completed within seconds (approximately 10–20 seconds). Patients simply remain still during the procedure, and the scan finishes quickly.

Question: Is dental tomography painful?

Answer Absolutely not. The procedure is completely non-contact, fast, and painless — a purely digital diagnostic process.
