At AQUA Dent Clinics in Jeddah, every CBCT scan is performed on the Planmeca Viso G7 — the world's leading 3D dental imaging unit. 75 μm voxel resolution reveals what conventional X-rays hide: root canals, nerve anatomy, bone height, and sinus pathology.
CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) is a specialized 3D imaging modality for dentistry and the maxillofacial region. It differs from conventional X-rays in that it shows complete anatomy in a 3D volume rather than a single flat plane, and from medical CT in that it delivers up to ten times less radiation.
At AQUA Dent, CBCT is part of every surgical plan — implants, complex root canals, jaw surgery prep, and obstructive sleep apnea assessment.
The Viso G7 is the newest and highest-spec generation from Planmeca Finland, the world's leading manufacturer of digital dentistry equipment. Diagnostic advantages:
Yes. Using the ULD™ protocol on the Viso G7, the radiation dose is up to ten times lower than a medical CT, equivalent to a short airline flight (≈0.05 mSv). Lead shielding protects the rest of the body.
30 seconds for the scan itself. The patient stands still with chin on the rest, and the arm rotates once around the head. Complete session including setup: 5-7 minutes.
Yes — all scans are yours. We export a digital copy in standard DICOM format that any dentist or imaging center will accept anywhere.
No. Digital panoramic X-rays are sufficient for most routine treatments. CBCT is reserved for surgical cases or difficult diagnostic situations.
