Dental X-Ray & CBCT 3D Scan in Da Nang
Dental X-ray and CBCT 3D imaging that shows what an examination alone cannot — the detail behind accurate implant, surgical and complex treatment planning.
Dental imaging shows what an examination alone cannot. A standard X-ray gives a flat, two-dimensional view of the teeth and roots, which is enough for many everyday problems. A CBCT 3D scan goes further, building a three-dimensional picture of the bone, roots, nerves and sinuses — the detail that accurate implant and surgical planning depends on.
At Vinmec Picasso, X-ray and CBCT imaging are available inside Vinmec Da Nang International Hospital and feed directly into your treatment plan. Imaging is used purposefully: a scan is recommended after examination when the extra detail will genuinely change the diagnosis or improve the plan, not as a routine step for every visit.
Why CBCT matters for implants
Implants need to be placed where there is enough healthy bone and a safe distance from nerves and the sinus. A CBCT scan lets the team measure the available bone and plan implant positions around your anatomy, working backwards from your intended final teeth. This is why full-arch and single implant treatments are planned with CBCT rather than estimated from a flat image.
Quick, comfortable and part of your record
Taking an image is quick and comfortable — you simply hold still while the scanner captures the views, and there is no recovery afterwards. The images become part of your record, supporting both the initial plan and any follow-up, and the team can talk you through what they show so your options make sense.

Is it right for you?
Often recommended when:
- Implants are being planned and bone volume and anatomy must be assessed
- Surgery such as wisdom tooth or cyst removal needs 3D planning near nerves or the sinus
- A diagnosis needs more detail than an examination or standard X-ray provides
May not be the right option when:
- A simple problem can be diagnosed from examination or a standard X-ray alone
- Imaging would not change the diagnosis or the treatment decision
Suitability is confirmed only after a clinical examination and CBCT 3D imaging. Alternatives are discussed where they exist.
What the treatment involves
Deciding what imaging is needed
Based on your examination, the team decides whether a standard X-ray is enough or whether a CBCT 3D scan is justified for your case.
Taking the image
A digital X-ray or CBCT scan is taken quickly and comfortably; you simply hold still while the scanner captures the images.
Reviewing the images
The images are studied to assess teeth, roots, bone, nerves and sinuses, revealing detail that an examination alone cannot show.
Guiding your plan
The findings feed directly into your treatment plan, so implants or surgery can be planned accurately around your anatomy.
Recovery & aftercare
- There is no recovery — you can return to normal activities immediately.
- Your images become part of your record and support planning and follow-up.
- Ask the team to talk you through what the images show if it helps you understand your options.
