Diagnostic Imaging That Gives You Clarity and Confidence.
Beyond what the naked eye can detect, advanced imaging is essential for understanding the full picture of your oral health. At Yah Polyclinic, we prioritise thorough diagnostic care, using state-of-the-art technology to uncover hidden concerns, guide treatment decisions, and give both our clinicians and our patients complete confidence before any procedure begins.
OPG X-Ray (Panoramic Imaging)
Our OPG dental panoramic imaging captures a single, wide-view image of your entire mouth, covering all teeth, both jaws, the temporomandibular joints, and surrounding bone structures. It is one of the most commonly requested scans in modern dentistry, offering a fast, low-radiation overview that supports diagnosis across a broad range of conditions.
CBCT Scan (3D Cone Beam Imaging)
Step into the next generation of dental diagnostics with our CBCT dental scanning technology. Cone Beam Computed Tomography produces detailed three-dimensional images of teeth, bone, nerve pathways, and soft tissue, giving our specialists an unmatched level of precision for complex treatment planning, implant placement, and orthodontic assessment.
Benefits of Advanced Dental Imaging
- Comprehensive View: OPG x-ray and CBCT scanning reveal what standard bitewing images simply cannot — including root structures, bone density, and anatomical positioning.
- Early Detection: Identifying decay, cysts, impacted teeth, and bone loss at the earliest possible stage, allowing for less invasive treatment.
- Precise Planning: Essential for implants, extractions, and orthodontic work — accurate imaging means fewer surprises during treatment.
- Minimal Radiation Exposure: Our modern imaging systems are designed to deliver diagnostic quality at the lowest clinically appropriate radiation dose.
Making Your Dental Diagnosis a Priority
Accurate imaging is not a luxury, it is the foundation of safe, effective dental care. By investing in the right scan at the right time, you avoid misdiagnosis, reduce the risk of treatment complications, and ensure that every clinical decision made at Yah Polyclinic is backed by clear, reliable evidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
When would a dentist recommend a dental x-ray?
A dental x-ray may be recommended during routine check-ups, before restorative or surgical procedures, or when a patient presents with pain, swelling, or symptoms that cannot be fully assessed through a visual examination alone.
What is an OPG x-ray and when is it used?
An OPG dental scan is a panoramic image capturing the full upper and lower jaw in a single frame. It is routinely used to assess wisdom teeth, monitor jaw development, plan orthodontic treatment, and evaluate overall bone health across the entire dental arch.
How is a CBCT scan different from a standard x-ray?
A standard dental x-ray produces a flat, two-dimensional image. A CBCT dental scan generates a full three-dimensional model of the jaw, teeth, and surrounding structures, giving clinicians significantly more detail for complex cases such as implant planning, nerve mapping, or assessing impacted teeth.
Is dental imaging safe?
Yes. All imaging carried out at Yah Polyclinic uses modern, low-dose equipment that meets international safety standards. The radiation levels involved in routine dental scans are minimal and considered clinically safe for the vast majority of patients.
How long does a dental scan appointment take?
Most imaging appointments at Yah Polyclinic are completed within 15 to 30 minutes, including preparation, the scan itself, and an initial review of findings with your clinician.
Do I need a referral to book a dental x-ray or CBCT scan?
No referral is necessary. You can contact Yah Polyclinic directly to book a diagnostic imaging appointment, and our team will advise on the most suitable scan based on your dental needs.
