🦷 Dental X-ray & 3D Imaging in Kota Kinabalu
See clearly. Diagnose accurately. Treat confidently.
At Klinik Pergigian Aleph Dental, we use advanced dental imaging technology to provide precise diagnosis and treatment planning. From simple cavity checks to complex surgical planning, our digital imaging ensures clarity, safety, and comfort for every patient.
Why Dental X-rays Matter
Dental X-rays (radiographs) allow us to detect conditions that aren’t visible during a regular examination.
They help identify:
Cavities between teeth
Bone loss or infection
Impacted teeth
Root and nerve problems
Jaw and sinus conditions
All our imaging systems are digital, which means:
Lower radiation dose (up to 70–80% less than conventional film)
Instant viewing for faster diagnosis
Environmentally friendly — no chemical processing
Types of Dental X-rays Available at Aleph Dental
1. Intraoral Periapical (IOPA) X-ray
Captures a close-up view of one or two teeth — including root and surrounding bone.
🔹 Ideal for: detecting cavities, root infections, or bone loss around a specific tooth.
2. Orthopantomogram (OPG) / Full Mouth X-ray
A panoramic X-ray showing all teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures in one image.
🔹 Ideal for: wisdom teeth, missing teeth, jaw bone assessment, and pre-implant planning.
3. Lateral Cephalometric X-ray
A side-view X-ray of the face and skull, mainly used for orthodontic analysis and jaw alignment studies.
🔹 Ideal for: orthodontic treatment planning and growth assessment in children or teens.
4. CBCT (3D Cone Beam)
A 3D imaging system that gives a complete view of teeth, bone, nerves, and soft tissues.
🔹 Ideal for:
Dental implant planning
Root canal re-treatment
Impacted tooth surgery
Orthodontic or jaw analysis
Our CBCT scans are quick (under a minute) and highly accurate, helping us visualize details that 2D X-rays can’t show.

No special preparation is needed. You’ll be asked to remove any jewelry or metal objects that might interfere with the image.
