Advanced 3D imaging for precise, comfortable care.

Chinook Smiles Dental in Calgary offers CBCT imaging, delivering detailed 3D views of teeth, jaws, sinuses, and airways so your dentist can diagnose clearly and plan with confidence. Our clinicians focus on safety and clarity, explaining every step in straightforward, easy-to-understand terms.

When 3D Matters Most

Cone beam CT produces a precise 3D model that shows teeth, roots, nerves, and bone quality in one quick scan. This helps with implant planning, root canal assessments, orthodontic alignment, wisdom tooth evaluation, and surgical guides. Ask our team how Canadian dental benefits may support necessary diagnostics.

Planning With Precision

Your scan allows our dentists to map treatment paths with measurable accuracy, improving predictability and communication. For eligible patients, we can explain how the Canadian Dental Care Plan may coordinate with other coverage and provide estimates before any imaging is completed.

Benefits You’ll Notice

  • High-resolution detail: clearer answers and fewer surprises
  • Lower-dose options: ALARA-based dose optimisation and calibrated equipment
  • Comfortable scan: quick, non-invasive, usually under a minute
  • Fewer visits: streamlined planning and guided treatment
  • Better communication: we review your scan together on-screen

Your Visit: Step by Step

Before scanning, you’ll remove metal near your head and neck. You will sit or stand still while the scanner moves around your face; exposure takes only seconds. A dentist reviews findings the same day, explains risks and alternatives, and outlines next steps. We can help verify Canadian dental insurance benefits and submit pre-determinations when helpful.

Safety, Privacy, and Your Data

We follow ALARA principles, use dose-reduction protocols, and maintain strict quality controls. If you’re enrolled in CDCP, bring your details so we can organise any applicable benefits. Your health information is safeguarded in line with Canadian dental health standards.

Questions Patients Ask

Is CBCT safe? Yes. Modern systems use focused beams and short exposure times. We tailor settings to your needs and can discuss how Canadian dental plan for seniors options may support required imaging.

Do I need a referral? Referrals are welcome, and self-bookings are accepted. If you participate in Canada’s dental care plan, our team can confirm eligibility and assist with forms.

Is it covered by insurance? Coverage varies by provider and diagnosis. We’ll review benefits, explain codes, and provide a clear estimate under the dental plan Canada before scanning.
