2D and 3D dental radiology in Pipera
Accurate and safe diagnosis
Digital dental radiology in Pipera, north Bucharest
At Dental CATTED, a correct diagnosis is the foundation of every effective treatment plan. That is why we use digital dental radiology, which provides clear images with minimal radiation exposure. Whether you need a panoramic X-ray, a periapical X-ray or a cone beam CT scan (CBCT), our imaging equipment supports an accurate diagnosis, essential for the success of complex implant or oral surgery treatment at our clinic.
Digital dental radiology has changed the way dentists diagnose and plan treatment. Unlike conventional film X-rays, digital technology provides instant, high-resolution images that can be enlarged and processed for detailed analysis. This allows problems to be identified early (hidden decay, infections, cysts, the position of impacted teeth) and gives high precision when planning complex procedures, such as dental implant treatment or oral surgery.

Dental radiology services: from panoramic X-rays to CBCT
Complete radiological investigations
At Dental CATTED we have modern equipment to offer a wide range of radiological examinations, adapted to each case:
Panoramic X-ray (OPG)
An overview of your teeth
A panoramic X-ray (orthopantomogram) gives an overview of both dental arches, the jaws, the maxillary sinuses and the temporomandibular joints. It is indispensable at a first consultation and a basic tool in digital dental radiology for planning orthodontic treatment, detecting impacted teeth (including wisdom teeth) and assessing the bone before dental implants.
Dental CBCT: 3D images for advanced diagnosis
Computed tomography
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a modern method of 3D dental imaging. These 3D dental scans provide detailed images of the teeth and jaws, the bone and the soft tissues. CBCT is crucial for:
- Planning dental implants: Precise visualization of bone density and volume.
- Complex root canal treatment (endodontics): Identifying additional root canals or infections at the root tip.
- Oral surgery: Pinpointing the exact location of impacted teeth or bone lesions.
- Orthodontics: Detailed analysis of the relationship between the jaws and the position of the teeth.
Periapical X-rays: fine detail for a single tooth
Periapical X-rays (also called retroalveolar X-rays) provide highly detailed images of a small group of teeth and the tissues around their roots.
These X-rays are well suited to diagnosing decay between the teeth and infections at the root tip, monitoring root canal treatment and assessing the bone around a single tooth.

Have questions? We have answers!
What is digital dental radiology?
Digital dental radiology is a modern imaging method that uses digital sensors instead of X-ray film to capture detailed images of the teeth, jawbones and surrounding structures. Its advantages include reduced radiation exposure and instant, clear images.
What are the advantages of CBCT over a conventional X-ray?
Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) provides three-dimensional (3D) images, whereas conventional X-rays are two-dimensional (2D). This allows a much more detailed view of the structures, which is essential for accurately diagnosing complex conditions and for planning surgical or implant procedures.
Is digital dental radiology safe for children?
Yes, digital dental radiology is considered safe for children because it uses significantly lower radiation doses than traditional film X-rays. Even so, at Dental CATTED we follow the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) and take X-rays only when they are strictly necessary for diagnosis and treatment planning.
How often should I have a dental X-ray?
How often you need dental X-rays depends on your individual medical and dental history, your age and your risk of certain conditions. The dentist will decide whether X-rays are needed on a case-by-case basis, balancing an accurate diagnosis against minimal exposure.
Can I see the X-ray results straight away?
Yes, a major advantage of digital radiology is that the images are available instantly on the computer screen. This allows the dentist to analyze and explain the results on the spot, and you can see your own X-ray and better understand your situation.
Do I need an X-ray before dental treatment?
In most cases, a dental X-ray is essential before complex treatment (e.g., an extraction, root canal treatment or a dental implant) or even for an initial consultation, because it allows the dentist to identify problems that cannot be seen during a routine clinical examination (decay under old fillings, bone infections, cysts) and to plan treatment in detail, avoiding surprises.
