Computed tomography room, TRG, OPTG
A photo to remember? Not quite. In the CT room at Tooth Fairy, images aren't taken for an album — they're taken for a precise treatment plan. A hidden pocket of inflammation under a crown. A wisdom tooth bud growing in the wrong direction. Bone loss that's invisible to the naked eye. Understanding the cause is already half the solution, and no surgeon or prosthodontist should ever take on a complex case without solid diagnostics first.
Dental imaging is the foundation everything else is built on — from a routine filling to complex prosthetics. A mistake at this stage gets expensive fast, and not just in money — in time, stress, repeat treatment. That's why the CT room at Tooth Fairy is equipped to show a dentist the full picture in detail, not just a rough guess.
Panoramic Dental X-ray
A panoramic dental X-ray captures the entire jaw in one shot — upper, lower, joints, sinuses, all of it. It gives a dentist the full picture within minutes: hidden cavities, root condition, wisdom tooth position, all visible at a glance. This is usually the starting point for any serious dental examination, whether it's leading toward an extraction or a full restoration plan.
Dental CT Scan — When Detail Matters
A dental CT scan takes precision to another level entirely. A jaw CT scan shows the structure in three dimensions — bone density, nerve canal position, the exact location of unerupted teeth, down to the millimeter. This kind of imaging matters most before implant placement or a sinus lift, situations where the margin for error is thin. And it catches details a flat X-ray simply loses in overlapping shadows.
3D Dental Diagnostics — Digital Dentistry in Practice
The clinic's imaging center works with equipment that builds a full three-dimensional jaw model in a matter of seconds. 3D dental diagnostics let a dentist rotate the model from any angle, measure distances, and plan treatment before an instrument ever touches the tooth. Digital dentistry isn't some distant future here — it's just how things are done at Tooth Fairy, with a level of precision film simply can't match.
Cephalometric X-ray — For Complex Orthodontic and Surgical Cases
A cephalometric X-ray (lateral head X-ray) matters where the jaw alone isn't the whole picture — when the relationship between skull bones as a whole needs evaluating, ahead of complex orthodontic treatment or surgical planning. Without this kind of image, certain decisions simply can't be made correctly.

FAQ
What's the difference between a panoramic X-ray and a CT scan?
Flat versus three-dimensional, basically. A panoramic X-ray shows the whole jaw in one two-dimensional image — fine for a general look. A CT scan goes further, building the picture in 3D, accurate to a fraction of a millimeter, which matters once you're planning something more involved than a routine check.
How long does a dental CT scan take?
The scan part — just seconds, really. Add setup and positioning, and the whole appointment runs about 10 to 15 minutes, start to finish.
Do I need a referral for a CT scan?
Not necessarily. Booking directly by phone works fine; a referral from another dentist isn't a requirement here.
What is a cephalometric X-ray used for?
Mostly for the bigger picture — literally. Instead of just the jaw, it captures how the skull bones relate to each other, which is exactly what's needed before complex orthodontic work or surgical planning gets underway.
Is this kind of diagnostics safe?
Yes — digital imaging uses a significantly lower radiation dose than older film-based methods, and modern equipment keeps patient exposure to a minimum.
