Second opinion with 3D CBCT

Unsure about a diagnosis? We examine your oral health in 3D, beyond what routine check-ups and 2D X-rays can show.

What it is

When it comes to your health, clarity matters. If you feel unsure about your current diagnosis or want to explore other treatment options, we're here to help.

With advanced 3D CBCT imaging, we examine your oral health in detail, beyond what traditional consultations, intra-oral examinations or in-clinic X-rays can reveal.

Because correct diagnosis is the foundation of effective treatment, a second opinion gives you confidence and peace of mind. Once the condition is clearly understood, you are free to choose where and how you proceed with treatment.

Who it's for

  • Patients unsure about a diagnosis or treatment plan
  • Patients with pain or discomfort that hasn't been explained

Photos of your teeth (optional)

Your X-rays and your complaint come first. Photos are optional, but they let our experts see the clinical picture.

Before you start

  • Ask someone to help. One of you holds the cheeks back while the other takes the photo.
  • Brush first, stand in good light and turn on the phone's flash.
  • Hold the lips and cheeks back with two clean spoons, or with your fingers. Keep the lips relaxed.
  • Bite on your back teeth for the smile, front and side photos.
  • Move the phone closer rather than zooming in, and fill the picture with teeth and gums.
  1. 1

    Smile

    Face the camera and give a natural, wide smile, without spoons or fingers.

    Front view

    Pull both cheeks outward with the spoons and bite on your back teeth. Hold the phone straight in front of the teeth.

    Side views

    Pull one cheek back firmly while the other side is held lightly. Move the phone to that side so the back teeth show. Then do the other side.
