Unlock unparalleled imaging power with 3D CBCT systems—essential gear for implantology, orthodontics, airway studies and full‑arch digital workflows.

Here’s a detailed look at some of the best CBCT units available through Voxel  Dental in 2026, what to evaluate when buying, and how to pick what’s right for your practice.

What to Look for in a CBCT System

When evaluating CBCT systems, focus on:

  • Field of View (FOV) options – From small ROI to full‑arch/craniofacial coverage.

  • Voxel size / resolution – Lower voxel size = better detail, especially for implants.

  • Scan time & radiation dose – Faster scans and lower dose are better for patients and workflow.

  • Software features – Planning modules for implants, airway, ortho; metal‑artifact reduction; segmentation.

  • Workflow integration – Compatibility with your scanner, CAD/CAM, implant planning software.

  • Support & footprint – Space required, service, training, warranty.

  • Budget & ROI – CBCT systems are significant investments; choose one that aligns with your practice goals.

Top CBCT Models for 2026

Here are some standout machines available from trusted dental equipment sources, with strong features for full‑arch, implant, orthodontic, and general use:

Rayscan Vision 16 / 18 / 20

  • Free‑FOV capability: Vision models allow adjustable volumes, for example Vision 16 supports FOVs from ~4×3 cm to 16×10 cm.

  • The Vision 18 model supports FOVs up to 18×16 cm, making it viable for full‑arch, sinus, airway, ortho and implant workflows.

  • Vision 20 expands that further, e.g., adjustable FOV up to 20×20 cm for large craniofacial imaging.

  • Why it stands out: Customizable FOV means you can tailor exposure for small ROIs or full‑arch/ortho cases; strong for practices doing mixed indications (implants, ortho, airway).

Vatech Green X Series

  • The Green X system offers multi‑FOV selection, from small regions (4×4 cm) up to large volumes (e.g., 16×11 or 18×15 cm) depending on configuration.

  • Exceptional resolution—for example the 4×4 cm mode can reach voxel sizes around 0.05 mm.

  • Fast scanning times: e.g., 2.9 sec for 5×5–8×8 cm volume; 9.0 sec for 12×9–18×15 cm modes.

  • Why it stands out: Excellent image quality and flexibility; great option for practices expanding into implants, full‑arch, or ortho with high‑resolution needs.

Carestream CS 9600 CBCT

  • Large‑FOV system capable of full arch, TMJ, airway, orthognathic imaging.

  • High resolution with multiple selectable FOVs (up to 16×17 cm) for complete diagnostics.

i‑CAT FLX V17

  • FOV: Options up to ~23 × 17 cm (V17 model) with smaller FOVs available for targeted scans.

  • Key features: Adjustable scan heights, low‑dose protocols, “open platform” DICOM export, seated patient positioning.

  • Ideal for: Practices that do a mix of implants, orthodontics, airway studies and want large‑volume flexibility.

DEXIS OP 3D LX

  • FOV: Ranges from 5×5 cm up to 15×20 cm in some configurations.

  • Key features: Large sensor, single‐pass non‐stitched scans, metal artifact reduction (MAR), implant contrast enhancer (ICE), AI‑assisted workflows.

  • Ideal for: Practices wanting a “one machine” solution for panoramic, ceph, and full CBCT with scalable upgrade path.

  • Investment: Mid-to-high tier depending on options and FOV.


Models Worth Mentioning

  • Acteon X‑MIND Optima 3D: Medium FOV option with less cost entry.

  • PreXion 3D Evolve: High precision implant‑oriented scanner, useful for lab/practice workflows requiring high detail.

Quick Comparison Table

Model Max FOV / Speciality Strengths
i‑CAT FLX V17 Up to ~23 × 17 cm (V17) Broad coverage (implant + ortho + airway)
DEXIS OP 3D LX Up to 15 × 20 cm Scalable, all‑in‑one imaging platform
Rayscan Vision 16/18/20 ~4×3 cm to ~20×20 cm volumes Flexible FOV at value pricing
Vatech Green X ~4×4 cm to ~18×15 cm High‑res, implant/full arch optimized

Final Thoughts: Matching Needs to Machine

  • If you need versatility for implants, ortho, airway, and full‑arch—that’s a strong case for Rayscan Vision or Vatech Green X.

  • If you’re focusing primarily on implantology and high precision, go with options that emphasise voxel size and resolution (e.g., Green X or PreXion).

  • For ortho‑heavy or full arch workflows, ensure the unit offers large FOVs and appropriate software modules such as i-CAT FLX or DEXIS OP 3D LX.

  • Always factor in workflow integration—scanner compatibility, CAD/CAM, implant/planning software, and training/support from your distributor.
