Tomography of a tooth Wrocław
Computed tomography of the tooth is a quick and painless examination that allows a very accurate assessment of the condition of all the structures that build the tooth. It does not require any special preparation from the patient and can be performed right away.
At our clinic in Wroclaw, we perform dental tomography in any situation when traditional dental X-ray proves insufficient. Tomography allows us to obtain a three-dimensional image of the anatomical structure of the tooth, which is very helpful during complex root canal treatment, difficult extractions, as well as during other procedures requiring microsurgical intervention.
A 3D photo of the tooth allows to make a precise dental diagnosis, speed up treatment and make it as safe as possible.
Dental tomography is a study:
Precision – provides a three-dimensional image of the anatomical structure of the tooth and other tissues, making it much more accurate than X-ray.a.
Short – takes tens of seconds and can be carried out on the spot, without prior preparation.
Safe – involves a negligible amount of radiation (comparable to what humans receive from the environment on a daily basis), so it can be performed relatively frequently.
Comfortable – involves no pain or other discomfort (the dentist applies the camera to the patient’s jaw, and the CT scanner scans the targeted area in less than a minute).
3D dental radiograph – a study of the highest precision
CT scans can detect many conditions in the jaw, including caries, various types of lesions such as cysts or tumors, bone loss, retained teeth, or bone edge abnormalities.
In addition, dental CT scanning makes it possible to create a three-dimensional model of the surgical field, which in the case of endodontics, implant attachment and other procedures is very small – often limited to a few square millimeters. 3D imaging of the tooth helps speed up endodontic treatment and, above all, make it safer, reducing the risk of error or mistake as much as possible.
CBCT dental cone tomography in Wroclaw
At our clinic in Wroclaw, we perform cone-beam computed tomography of the tooth (CBCT), which allows three-dimensional visualization of the working area. The radiation is in the form of a cone beam – thanks to this, the examination takes less time (one rotation of the tomograph is enough), and the radiation dose is significantly reduced.
CBCT tomography in difficult cases effectively replaces the pantomogram, which only allows imaging in two dimensions. 3D tomography of the tooth is also essential in situations such as the removal of teeth growing under the gum surface, fractured teeth in deeper areas of the jaw and other abnormalities.

FAQ
What is dental tomography (CBCT) and when is it performed?
A dental CT scan (CBCT) is a three-dimensional, highly accurate examination that allows for the assessment of the root, canals, surrounding bone, and any inflammatory changes. It is performed before root canal treatment, re-treatment (re-endo), when a root fracture is suspected, in cases of trauma, or when an X-ray does not provide a clear result.
What problems can be detected with dental tomography?
CBCT detects, among other things, additional root canals, root fractures and cracks, inflammatory changes, cysts, resorption, perforations, and anatomical abnormalities that are not visible on a regular X-ray image.
How is a CT scan of a single tooth performed?
The patient stands in the CBCT machine, and the device performs a quick scan of a single tooth or a small section of the jaw. The examination is completely painless and takes only a few seconds.
How long does it take to perform a 3D tomography of a tooth?
The scan itself takes 5-10 seconds, and the entire visit—including preparation and recording of the examination—takes about a few minutes.
Is dental tomography safe?
Yes. CBCT uses a low dose of radiation, and the examination is only performed when necessary for a precise diagnosis. It is also safe for children, provided that the appropriate indications are followed.
How much does a CT scan of one tooth cost in Wrocław?
At Dentaxo, the cost of a single tooth CT scan ranges from PLN 350, depending on the scope of the examination and whether an additional radiological description is required.
Do I need a referral from a doctor for a CT scan?
No, a referral is not required. The examination can be performed privately – all you need to do is make an appointment. If the patient has a referral, it is worth bringing it along to determine the exact diagnostic area.
