Scan resolution isn't the problem. You're clipping image data. Check all of your scanner settings to make sure that you clip as little as possible. Sometimes black and white clipping points are expressed as a percentage. Make that number as small as possible. It can also help to include some of the unexposed film area around the image on the negative, since that scanner software will now treat that as image material, and the film base will have less density than any place in the frame that has detail.
