When your periodontist evaluates you for dental implants, they might request a CBCT scan. If it’s your first time getting one, you might have these questions:
Our periodontists at BK Dental are here to answer any questions you have about CBCT scans and why we use them.
Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) systems in dentistry are a type of 3D X-ray technology that gives detailed images of teeth, jaws, and nearby structures all at once. CBCT is often used in implant planning because it provides a clear picture of the bone structure. This clarity is important for determining the best location for placing implants.
You might know about full mouth X-rays (FMX) or panoramic X-rays (PANO) from your dentist.
Usually taken every 3-5 years by your dentist. It shows images of each tooth and surrounding structures used to diagnose gum disease, cavities, dental abscesses, and lesions.
A single picture used mostly by oral surgeons and orthodontists but lacks detailed information.

The best experience of taking out wisdom teeth. Had no pain throughout the process. I highly recommend BK dental for all the dental services. I took care of my cavity from this place and saved me a lot of money as well. All the staff are super kind and I would definitely come back again.

I recommend 킹켄터2024-04-13 I am terrified of the dentist, but the doc, assistants and receptionists are always extremely careful/cautious. I came back to this dentist even after moving to another province because of their outstanding provision of care - they always make me feeI comfortable before starting any procedure. I would give 10/10 stars if I could. Amy Byun2024-04-12 I’ve been receiving dental care from Dr. Yoon and his associates for more than 5 years. Every time I had a treatment or surgery, they walked me through the whole procedure letting me know clearly what was to be done. The dentists and staffs are very friendly and kind, make me feel welcome and comfortable every time I walk in. My oral hygiene has been under a great care ever since I’ve found them. Highly recommended to try them out. David Byun2024-04-12 My mom had the implant done at here. Dr. Yoon provided excellent care to her. She said the implant looks and feels great and the follow-up care has been outstanding. Iris Au2024-04-12 Had a filling done by Dr. Park. Dr. Park and the team were professional and the procedure was smooth. Highly recommended!
