Dental Imaging Helps Detect Changes Beneath The Surface
During a routine dental examination, dentists can assess the visible surfaces of teeth and gums. Dental radiographs provide additional information by showing structures beneath the surface and between the teeth.
Dental X rays help identify early tooth decay between teeth, changes in bone levels around the teeth, infections near the root tips and the condition of previous dental treatments.
Digital imaging is also used to support treatment planning for procedures such as root canal treatment, tooth extraction, orthodontic treatment and dental implants.
At ToothBrush Dental in Lewisham, dental X rays are taken only when clinically appropriate and always with patient consent.

FAQs About Dental X Rays & CBCT in Lewisham
Dental X-rays often raise understandable questions. Here are helpful answers to the most common concerns.
Prices vary depending on whether you need a small X-ray, an OPG, or a CBCT scan. You will always receive a precise quote before treatment starts.
A CBCT scan provides much more information than a standard dental X-ray. It allows us to see the exact position of teeth, nerves, and bone, which is especially important for procedures such as dental implants, complex extractions, or orthodontic treatment.
Yes. Although CBCT scans use more radiation than a regular X-ray, the dose is still very low and carefully controlled. We only recommend a CBCT when it is clinically necessary, ensuring that the benefits always outweigh the risks.
Unlike routine dental X-rays, CBCT scans are only taken when required for specific treatments or diagnoses. For example, you may need a scan before implant placement, a surgical extraction, or advanced root canal treatment.
No. A CBCT scan is completely painless and non-invasive. You simply remain still while the machine rotates around your head.
CBCT scans are generally reserved for adults, but in some instances (such as orthodontic or surgical planning), they may be recommended for children or teenagers. Our team will only suggest a CBCT if it is necessary and safe.
