Advanced Dental Imaging & Diagnostics Dubai - CBCT, X-Rays & 3D Scans
Accurate diagnosis leads to confident treatment decisions. SwissMed Clinic operates an on-site dental imaging suite that supports your dentist with panoramic OPG radiography, three-dimensional CBCT scans, and high-definition intraoral photography and digital scans. These tools provide clear views of teeth, bone, joints, nerves, and soft tissues so treatment can be planned precisely and completed efficiently.
OPG Panoramic X-ray
At SwissMed Clinic, an OPG (panoramic X-ray) provides a complete view of both jaws, teeth, and surrounding structures in a single image. It is commonly used for routine dental screening and initial assessments.
This scan helps your dentist identify:
- Impacted wisdom teeth
- Missing or extra teeth
- Cysts, infections, or fractures
- Overall bone health and jaw condition
The procedure is quick and comfortable. You simply stand still while the machine rotates gently around your head, and the image is ready within seconds for immediate review.
CBCT Three-Dimensional Imaging
CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) offers detailed 3D images of the teeth, jaw, and facial structures for more accurate diagnosis and planning.
At SwissMed Clinic, CBCT is especially useful for:
- Dental implant planning
- Complex root canal treatments
- Oral surgery and impacted teeth
- Sinus and airway evaluation
- Orthodontic and jaw alignment assessment
This advanced imaging shows bone structure, nerve position, and sinus location with high precision. It helps dentists plan treatments safely and accurately. CBCT scans are performed using low-dose protocols and only when necessary.
Intraoral Photography and Digital Scans
Modern dental care uses digital tools to improve accuracy and communication.
- Intraoral Photography captures clear images of your teeth and gums to help explain conditions and track progress
- Digital Scans replace traditional moulds and create a 3D model of your teeth and bite
These scans are used to design crowns, bridges, veneers, aligners, retainers, and night guards. Digital records improve fit, reduce the need for repeat visits, and ensure better treatment results.

Frequently asked questions Dental Imaging
What is the difference between an OPG and a CBCT
An OPG is a two-dimensional panoramic image that provides an overview of the jaws and teeth, which is useful for screening and orthodontic planning. A CBCT is a three-dimensional scan that shows exact bone dimensions and the location of nerves and sinuses, which is essential for implants, complex root canals, and surgical planning.
Are dental X-rays and CBCT scans safe
Digital equipment uses low radiation doses and scans are prescribed only when necessary. Protective measures are used during every exposure. Your dentist will explain why a particular image is recommended for your case.
How long does a scan take
Most OPGs take less than a minute of exposure time and a few minutes in the room. CBCT scans are similarly quick, with image acquisition in seconds and total appointment time typically under ten minutes.
Can I have an OPG or CBCT during pregnancy
Imaging is avoided during pregnancy unless the benefits clearly outweigh the risks. If a scan is essential, additional precautions are taken. Always inform your clinician if you are pregnant or may be pregnant.
Will I receive a copy of my images
Yes. Digital copies can be provided to you and sent securely to your referring dentist or specialist along with a report when requested.
Do I need a referral for imaging
We welcome referrals from dentists and specialists. If you are a SwissMed patient, your clinician will request the appropriate images as part of your plan. If you attend from another clinic, bring your referral and any previous records so we can coordinate promptly.
