What is a CBCT scan?
It’s basically a three-dimensional radiograph. CBCT stands for “Cone Beam Computed Tomography”.It is quite similar to the “CAT scan” technology used in the medical domain.
The difference is that a cone-shaped beam is used to image a small area exclusively with significantly less radiation.
There is lesser distortion as compared to 2D images. Accurate measurements of the bone density, bone height and width are possible. It’s a quick and painless procedure which helps in accurate assessment of your facial skeleton and helps in planning of reconstructive and cosmetic dentistry procedures.
I CAT CBCT, the latest and one of the best in CBCT technology, is being used at Dr. Nisarg Shah’s The Dental Clinic since the past 6 years for our more complex dental cases.

5. Transparent Financial planning for treatment
As you may have noticed that once we create your treatment plan, we inform you about the cost of the treatment planned.
Sometimes procedures require multiple appointments. So we accept payments in installments to make it easy for you to pay for the procedures. Financing is also offered to help make paying for dental care more manageable by spreading out the cost over a period of time and can involve the use of a credit card.
We also offer Dental Health Plan whereby you can receive a discount of 20% on your total invoice if you need to undergo at least 3 different procedures. Financing options can be provided for this purpose as well.
Once the treatment plan is decided and has your approval, the costs do not change so you need not worry about that. (Additional materials required for treatment and/ or procedures previously not included in treatment plan will change the cost).
6. Relaxing ambience in the clinic
We understand that visiting a dentist can make you anxious or stressed possibly due to past experience, the smells, sounds, or the way it looks.
The design and environment in the clinic are made with exactly that in mind so that we help you relax and be comfortable.
