3D Computed Tomography

Dental 3D computed tomography (CBCT) is a modern diagnostic scan that gives the dentist a complete three-dimensional image of the oral cavity and maxillofacial area. Unlike a classic X-ray, which only produces a flat picture, a 3D scan shows bone volume and density, the path of the nerve canals and the exact position of the maxillary sinus. That is why this scan is essential before planning any complex dental procedure.

Why a 3D dental scan is needed

A 3D diagnostic scan lets the dentist plan treatment on precise data instead of assumptions. At Renome Dental Clinic in Tbilisi we use tomography for:

• Dental implant planning — exact assessment of bone height, width and density
• Diagnosis of gum and bone tissue disease
• Detecting complex root canal anatomy and hidden decay
• Pre-operative assessment before wisdom tooth extraction
• Planning orthodontic treatment and bite correction
• Evaluating maxillofacial trauma, cysts and other lesions

The equipment we use at Renome

At Renome, 3D computed tomography is performed on a modern Planmeca unit with a low radiation dose and high image resolution. In a single visit we can take a full 3D scan, a panoramic X-ray and a cephalometric image. Our dentists use the result immediately to build your treatment plan.

How the procedure works

The scan is completely painless and takes 15-30 seconds on average. You stand in the unit and stay still for a few seconds while the sensor rotates around your head. The three-dimensional image is available straight away in digital format and can be handed to you on request.

How much does a 3D dental scan cost in Tbilisi?

The price depends on whether a full maxillofacial scan or only a specific segment is required. We confirm the exact cost at your consultation. To book, call +995 599 000 359 or visit the clinic at 8a Navtlughi Street, Tbilisi.

Frequently asked questions

Is a 3D dental scan dangerous?

No. The radiation dose of a modern CBCT unit is significantly lower than that of a medical CT scan, and the procedure is considered safe.

Do I need to prepare in advance?

No. You only need to remove metal jewellery, glasses and any removable dentures.

Can the scan be done during pregnancy?

During pregnancy the scan is performed only on strict medical indication and in agreement with your doctor.
