CBCT Scan FAQ
Is a CBCT scan safe?
Yes. Modern CBCT scanners use a fraction of the radiation of traditional medical CT scans. The scan takes only 20 to 40 seconds and poses minimal risk.
When is a CBCT scan necessary?
Your dentist may recommend one before dental implants, complex extractions, or when standard X-rays are insufficient for an accurate diagnosis.
Does a CBCT scan hurt?
Not at all. You simply stand or sit while the scanner rotates around your head. The entire imaging process takes less than a minute with no discomfort.
