DENTAL IMAGING · HORIZON CENTER
Three-dimensional imaging · Available at Horizon Center.
Cone beam imaging, also called CBCT, provides three-dimensional views of teeth and bony structures. This examination is performed at Dr Houda Agunaou’s practice in Casablanca when useful for diagnosis or planning care. It complements clinical assessment and answers a specific question; it is not performed routinely.
YOUR DENTIST
At Horizon Center, Dr Houda Agunaou discusses the imaging needed for your assessment and the proposed care. Your consultation is an opportunity to discuss discomfort, expectations and the stages of your proposed care.
YOUR TREATMENT JOURNEY
Assessment and reviews take place at the practice, which you can explore before your visit.
Bring previous examinations and explain the reason for your consultation. Mention a known or possible pregnancy. Your dentist clarifies whether 2D imaging is sufficient or whether 3D information is needed for assessment.
The team positions you in the equipment and explains which metal objects to remove. You need to remain still while the equipment rotates around your head. Mention any difficulty holding the position beforehand so the team can assist.
Images are assessed alongside your clinical examination. Ask what they show, their limitations and the proposed next steps. If information needs to be transferred to another practitioner, the practice will explain how to obtain your records.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Yes. Horizon Center has 3D cone beam radiology, 2D panoramic radiology and an optical scanner for digital impressions. Contact the practice to arrange your assessment and explain your request.
Panoramic imaging provides an overall two-dimensional view. Cone beam imaging produces a three-dimensional volume. These are complementary examinations selected for the clinical question, rather than a routine preference for 3D.
No. An optical scanner records tooth surfaces for a digital impression without X-rays. Cone beam imaging uses X-rays to investigate deeper structures, particularly teeth and bone. These technologies serve different purposes.
Preparation is generally straightforward. Follow the team’s instructions on removing objects and positioning. Bring existing records and mention any particular circumstances before acquisition.
No. 3D radiography must be justified by the information required. Clinical examination or 2D images may be sufficient. Ask your dentist why the scan is recommended and how it will help decision-making.
The fee depends on the examination requested. Contact the practice for the cost and what is included in your assessment. Visit City Office CFC, first floor, office A6, Boulevard Yacoub El Mansour: call 06 64 52 32 41 or use WhatsApp.
