the Wait
At White House Dental in Godstone, Surrey, we are proud to offer in-house CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) scanning for our patients. This advanced 3D imaging technology allows us to carry out highly detailed diagnostic assessments, without the need to refer you to a hospital or other imaging centres.
With our CBCT scanner available on-site, we can diagnose, plan, and begin your treatment faster and more effectively, whether you’re having dental implants, complex root canal treatment, or jaw-related assessments.
CBCT Scanning
Fast, Convenient & In-House
Many dental practices must refer their patients to external imaging centres, often in London or large hospitals, which can result in delays and extra travel. At White House Dental, we have invested in state-of-the-art CBCT scanning technology within our own clinic. This means:
- No long wait times or external appointments
- No travel to central London or hospital facilities
- Instant access to scan results
- Faster, more personalised treatment planning
Our CBCT scanner is used when clinically appropriate to provide a clear, three-dimensional view of your mouth, teeth, bone, and surrounding structures—supporting safer, more accurate treatment.
Common Uses of CBCT Scans at White House Dental:
- Dental implant planning and placement
- Endodontic (root canal) diagnosis
- Evaluation of jaw joints (TMJ)
- Assessment of impacted or missing teeth
- Sinus and airway analysis
- Bone density and volume mapping for grafting
What Is a CBCT Scan?
CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) is a specialist type of dental imaging that captures high-definition, 3D images of your teeth, jaws, and surrounding anatomy. Unlike traditional 2D x-rays, CBCT scans provide much greater clarity, allowing us to identify issues with precision and plan treatments with accuracy.
The scan is quick, safe, and completely non-invasive. You’ll be asked to gently bite on a small plastic holder while the scanner rotates around your head. The entire scan usually takes less than 60 seconds, and results are available almost immediately.
Benefits of Having Your CBCT Scan Done In-House:
- Convenient, same-day appointments
- No third-party referrals or travel
- Seamless integration into your treatment plan
- Faster diagnosis and clinical decisions
- All under one roof at your trusted practice
If your dentist recommends a CBCT scan as part of your care, you can be confident that we’ll carry it out quickly, safely, and with your comfort in mind—right here at White House Dental.

Intra-Oral Digital Scanning
Say Goodbye to Messy Impressions
At White House Dental, we use the latest intra-oral digital scanner to take accurate impressions of your teeth, without the discomfort of traditional putty moulds. This advanced technology captures a detailed 3D image of your mouth quickly, comfortably, and with outstanding accuracy.
No more messy trays, unpleasant tastes, or the need to sit still while the material sets. Instead, we simply scan your teeth using a small, handheld camera. The process is fast, non-invasive, and ideal for patients with a strong gag reflex or dental anxiety.
Fast, Precise, and Digital
Once scanned, your 3D impressions are sent instantly and securely to our dental lab, eliminating delays caused by sending physical moulds. This allows for:
- Faster turnaround times on crowns, bridges, veneers, Invisalign, and more
- Improved fit and accuracy in your dental restorations
- A more comfortable experience from start to finish
Whether you’re starting Invisalign, preparing for a crown, or having cosmetic work done, our digital scanner ensures every detail of your smile is captured with precision, helping us deliver better results, faster.
