Our state-of-the-art CT scanner gives our dentists an in-depth understanding of how the roots and nerves within the tooth are positioned and a completely transparent picture of any hidden structures that could cause post-treatment complications.
It’s no exaggeration to say that CT scans are a revolutionary tool for dentists and patients. CT scans are beneficial for the diagnosis and treatment of problematic wisdom teeth in the following ways:
No stone is left unturned
View a detailed image of your oral structures – nothing will be missed before your extraction. CT scans are extremely useful in diagnosing impacted wisdom teeth, giving your dentist a complete picture of the angulation and location of the problem tooth.
Quick and straightforward
Offer patients a quicker and more accurate scan than traditional X-rays.
A smooth recovery
CT scans reduce the possibility of post-extraction complications, as even the most minute details are detected before treatment takes place.

Wisdom teeth typically come through much later than your other adult teeth. This can cause problems for your mouth, as there is very often not enough space for them to fully erupt.
When wisdom teeth partially erupt, they can cause infections, trapping bits of food and bacteria behind them. This causes an unpleasant condition called pericoronitis, which can cause severe decay and bad breath when untreated.
If your wisdom teeth consistently cause you problems or do not appear to have sufficient room to erupt, we can perform an extraction to stabilise your oral health.
If you are not experiencing pain or repeated infections, you do not need to choose to have your wisdom teeth out. However, we recommend the removal of wisdom teeth to patients who regularly experience debilitating problems and who are at a higher risk of decay and infections because of their wisdom teeth.
