Cone Beam CT Scan in Smile Centrum

A cone beam CT scan (CBCT) provides 3D dental images to evaluate jaw bone structure, teeth, and soft tissues. At Smile Centrum in Prague, Czech Republic, this diagnostic typically runs between $60 and $90. The clinic uses the Sirona Orthophos SL scanner, which offers high-definition resolution with a radiation dose similar to a standard 2D X-ray.

Diagnostic Options and Technology

Smile Centrum provides three specific types of CBCT scans depending on the area of interest. Patients can receive a scan of a single quadrant, one jaw, or the full mouth. The diagnostic uses Direct Conversion Sensor (DCS) technology to convert X-rays directly into electrical signals. This process reduces signal loss and creates clear images of the dental structures.

• CBCT scan quadrant. A localized 3D image of one section of the mouth that may cost around $60.
• CBCT scan single jaw. A full view of either the upper or lower jaw, typically priced around $70.
• CBCT scan full mouth. A complete 3D overview of both jaws and all teeth, which is around $90.
• HD resolution. The equipment captures details up to 80 microns for precise dental assessment.
• Integrated imaging. The system supports sinus, bitewing, and cephalometric images alongside 3D scans.
• Low radiation. The scanner uses specialized settings to keep exposure levels comparable to traditional 2D dental films.

What to Expect

The examination takes place in an outpatient setting within the dental facility. The Sirona Orthophos SL scanner captures multiple images from different angles to reconstruct a three-dimensional model. This method helps the dentist view the jaw from every perspective without multiple separate X-rays.
