Radiological Diagnostics
Precise diagnostics – the foundation of effective treatment
We provide a full spectrum of imaging diagnostics: from standard intraoral X-rays and digital panoramic radiographs to advanced 3D cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Every examination is performed using minimal radiation doses thanks to the latest generation of digital equipment — patient safety is our priority.
Accurate diagnostics is the first step toward successful treatment. It allows us to see what is invisible to the naked eye: hidden carious lesions, bone condition around teeth, root canal anatomy, and pathological changes at an early stage.
With 3D imaging, we can precisely plan implant placement, assess complex surgical cases, locate impacted teeth, and accurately measure anatomical structures before procedures.
All examinations are analyzed immediately — no waiting for results. We review the images together with you, explain what we see, and discuss what it means for your treatment. Diagnostics is not just about taking an image — it is about communication, education, and making informed decisions together.
What sets us apart:
3D CBCT scanner for precise implant planning, complex procedures, and pathology diagnostics
Minimal radiation doses thanks to advanced digital technology
Immediate image analysis – real-time diagnosis without delay
Digital archiving allowing comparison over time and treatment monitoring
Detailed consultation of results – you fully understand your oral condition
Schedule your diagnostic appointment — you will receive a detailed analysis, a printed report or digital copy of your scan, and a comprehensive discussion of the next treatment steps.
Good diagnostics is half the success of effective therapy.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a panoramic X-ray and CBCT?
A panoramic X-ray (pantomogram) is a 2D image showing all teeth, jaws, and temporomandibular joints in one view. It is a basic diagnostic tool. CBCT (cone beam computed tomography) is a 3D scan that provides highly detailed images of bone structures in three dimensions. CBCT allows precise assessment of bone quantity and quality before implant placement, root canal anatomy, impacted teeth position, and pathological changes. It is more advanced and accurate than a panoramic X-ray.
Are dental X-rays safe?
Modern dental X-rays use very low radiation doses. For comparison, a single intraoral X-ray is equivalent to just a few hours of natural background radiation. A panoramic X-ray equals a few days of natural exposure. CBCT involves a higher dose but remains safe and is used only when clinically necessary. Protective lead aprons and thyroid shields are also used. The diagnostic benefits significantly outweigh the minimal risks.
When is CBCT necessary?
CBCT is particularly useful for implant planning (bone assessment, nerve and sinus location), diagnosing impacted teeth and their relation to adjacent structures, evaluating jaw fractures, planning complex extractions (especially wisdom teeth), diagnosing pathological bone lesions, assessing complex root canal anatomy, and planning orthodontic-surgical treatments.
Can dental X-rays be taken during pregnancy?
Dental X-rays during pregnancy are performed only in urgent situations when the benefits outweigh potential risks. The safest period is the second trimester. Double lead protection (abdomen and thyroid) is used, and the lowest possible radiation techniques are selected. Whenever possible, imaging is postponed until after delivery. However, untreated oral infections may pose a greater risk to pregnancy than a single X-ray — the decision is made individually by the dentist.
How often can dental X-rays be taken?
The frequency depends on clinical needs. Routine bitewing X-rays are typically taken every 1–2 years in patients with good oral health, and every 6–12 months in those at high risk of decay. A panoramic X-ray is often recommended every 2 years. Diagnostic images are taken when medically justified — before root canal treatment, after trauma, or when pathology is suspected. Modern digital equipment has significantly reduced radiation exposure, making X-rays safe when used appropriately.
