CBCT Scanner on site

Smile Store patients only need to walk down our hall to have a CT scan on site. Our Cone Beam CBCT scanner is engineered to provide a three-dimensional view of all the interior structures in the head and jaw, whilst subjecting the patient to the absolute minimum of radiation.

The CT scanner allows the specialists to see available bone levels; facial nerves and anatomical features in detail. 

It is also useful in cases with hard-to-locate root canals, or for wisdom tooth extraction with nerves in close proximity.

We also offer digital OPG panoramic x-rays as standard for all Smile Store patients.

Referring dentists and medical professionals send patients to our practice to have CTs and OPG x-rays.
