What is CT Scan?
A dental cone-beam CT scan (CBCT) produces a high-resolution 3D image of your teeth, jawbone, nerve pathways, and sinuses. It is the gold standard for pre-surgical planning, giving your dentist millimetre-precise data for implant placement, bone graft assessment, and complex extractions. At MedProper Istanbul, CBCT scans are performed in-house with the latest digital equipment.
How Does CT Scan Work?
- 1You are seated comfortably and a head stabiliser ensures a still position during the scan.
- 2The CBCT unit rotates once around your head in approximately 20-40 seconds.
- 3Specialised software reconstructs the data into a detailed 3D model of your jaw anatomy.
- 4Your dentist navigates the 3D image with you, showing bone volume, nerve positions, and the exact plan for implant angles or surgical approach.
- 5The scan data can be used directly in guided implant surgery software for template fabrication.
Who is a Good Candidate for CT Scan?
- Patients planning dental implants who need precise bone volume and nerve canal mapping
- Individuals requiring sinus lift or bone graft surgery
- Those with impacted or difficult wisdom teeth near the nerve canal
- Patients needing evaluation of cysts, pathology, or complex root canal anatomy
Why Choose CT Scan at MedProper?
3D Precision
Unlike 2D X-rays, CBCT reveals bone depth, width, and density in all three dimensions for accurate surgical planning.
Safer Surgery
Precise nerve canal mapping dramatically reduces the risk of nerve injury during implant placement or extractions.
Guided Implant Planning
The 3D data integrates with digital implant planning software, enabling template-guided surgery for optimal implant positioning.
Affordable Advanced Imaging
At EUR 150 at MedProper, the same scan that costs EUR 300-500 in Western Europe is accessible to every patient who needs it.
What is the Recovery Timeline?

Frequently Asked Questions
It is strongly recommended. A CBCT scan reveals bone density and nerve positions that a 2D panoramic X-ray cannot show, allowing your surgeon to plan implant placement with maximum precision and safety.
A dental CBCT delivers approximately 0.05-0.2 mSv, far less than a medical CT scan (which can exceed 2 mSv). It is considered safe for dental diagnostic use.
A panoramic X-ray is sufficient for routine assessments. A CT scan is recommended when 3D measurements are needed, such as for implant placement, bone grafts, sinus lifts, or evaluating impacted teeth near nerves.
If the scan is recent (within 3-6 months), in DICOM format, and of sufficient field of view, it can potentially be used. Your MedProper coordinator can confirm compatibility before your trip.
