Oral & Dental Radiology
Digital radiology services supporting diagnosis and treatment planning with CBCT dental tomography, panoramic X-rays and periapical imaging.
Oral, dental and maxillofacial radiology evaluates teeth, jaw bones, joint areas and surrounding tissues through digital imaging. At BY Istanbul Dental Clinic, imaging is used not only to capture images, but also to support diagnosis, identify relevant risks and prepare personalised treatment plans.
Why digital imaging matters
A reliable dental treatment plan often requires more than a visual examination. Digital images help clarify decay depth, root shape, bone level, impacted tooth position and nerve canal anatomy. In our clinic in Maltepe İdealtepe, imaging is used as a complementary part of examination to interpret symptoms accurately and avoid unnecessary procedures.
When CBCT dental tomography is used
CBCT dental tomography provides three-dimensional information in selected cases. It helps assess bone volume for implant planning, the relationship between impacted wisdom teeth and nerves, and the extent of cyst-like findings. Not every patient needs tomography; your dentist recommends the appropriate imaging method after examination.
The role of panoramic and periapical X-rays
A panoramic X-ray provides a practical overview of oral and jaw structures. It offers information about missing teeth, unerupted teeth, bone levels and general dental findings. Periapical X-rays focus on a single tooth or small region and are commonly used for root canal assessment, apical infection, deep decay and restoration checks.
A careful imaging approach in Maltepe
At BY Istanbul, radiographic assessment considers the patient's age, symptoms, previous images and planned treatment. The aim is to obtain the necessary clinical information through the most appropriate method. Your images are explained by your dentist, and if implant, orthodontic, surgical or restorative treatment is needed, the plan is shared clearly.
Treatment Areas
Digital radiology services supporting diagnosis and treatment planning with CBCT dental tomography, panoramic X-rays and periapical imaging.
CBCT / Dental CT
Three-dimensional imaging helps assess jaw bone, tooth roots and nearby anatomical structures when clinically needed.
Panoramic X-ray
A single overview image of the teeth and jaws supports initial examinations and follow-up assessments.
Periapical X-ray
A focused image helps assess a specific tooth, root tip, surrounding bone and possible infection.
Digital Imaging
Digital images support examination findings and help the dentist with diagnosis, follow-up and treatment planning.
Impacted Tooth Assessment
The position of impacted teeth, their relationship with adjacent teeth and possible surgical need are assessed radiographically.
Pre-implant Bone Evaluation
Bone height, width and nearby anatomical structures are evaluated before implant planning.
Orthodontic Radiographic Assessment
Before orthodontic treatment, tooth roots, eruption status and jaw structure are assessed with supporting images.
Initial assessment
Your symptoms, medical history and previous images are reviewed to determine which area should be examined and why.
Selecting the right imaging method
Panoramic X-ray, periapical X-ray or CBCT dental tomography is selected according to clinical need.
Image capture
The image is captured quickly, with the team guiding you step by step during positioning.
Clinical interpretation
Images are interpreted together with examination findings, with the full clinical picture in mind.
Integration into the treatment plan
Treatment options, follow-up needs and possible alternatives are explained clearly.
Does every patient need CBCT dental tomography?
No. CBCT is recommended in selected situations where three-dimensional information is clinically useful. Panoramic or periapical X-rays may be sufficient for simpler assessments.
What is the difference between panoramic and periapical X-rays?
A panoramic X-ray gives an overview of the mouth and jaws. A periapical X-ray focuses on a specific tooth root and surrounding tissue in more detail.
How does dental tomography help implant planning?
It helps evaluate bone height, width and nearby anatomical structures. This information supports planning the implant position, angle and need for additional procedures.
Are X-ray results reviewed the same day?
In most cases, images are reviewed shortly after capture and explained during the appointment. Complex cases may require additional planning time.
Can I book dental tomography in Maltepe?
Yes. At our clinic on Bağdat Avenue in İdealtepe, CBCT dental tomography can be planned when clinically indicated by your dentist.
What Is Dental CBCT and When Is It Requested?
Dental CBCT is an imaging method that helps evaluate teeth and jaw structures in three dimensions when clinically needed.
The Role of Dental CBCT in Implant Planning
Dental CBCT can support implant planning by helping evaluate bone structure and nearby anatomical areas.
What Information Does CBCT Provide for Impacted Tooth Assessment?
CBCT can help the dentist evaluate the position of an impacted tooth and its relationship with nearby tissues.
