Clinical scope
Pearl Dental’s CBCT scanner is available to referring dentists for implant planning, bone grafting, impacted teeth, endodontics, airway and sinus assessment, TMJ, oral pathology, orthodontics and periodontal cases. Digital panoramic and cephalometric imaging can be taken alongside.
Scans are delivered in the format your planning software reads — DICOM files, a cloud viewer, or exports for the common implant-planning systems — with a radiology report available on request. Scan fees are confirmed when the appointment is booked.
Acceptance criteria
Every scan needs a stated clinical justification. If no teeth are selected on the form the whole jaw is scanned. Tell us if the patient is, or may be, pregnant.
What to include
- Referrer’s name, practice and delivery address for the output
- Patient’s name, date of birth and contact number
- Region of interest and the teeth involved
- Clinical indication and the output format you need
What happens next
The practice contacts the patient to book the scan, then sends the output to the delivery address on the form. Express processing and radiology reports are available as extras.
