Frequently Asked Questions
Which scan should I book?
Follow the examination requested by your dentist. If the prescription is unclear, ask the referring clinician or discuss it with the imaging team before your visit.
Is dental CBCT radiation-free?
No. CBCT and dental X-rays use ionising radiation. Examinations should be clinically justified, with protocols matched to the diagnostic task.
What if I am pregnant or might be pregnant?
Tell your dentist and the imaging team before the examination so they can assess the request and guide you appropriately.
When and how will I receive my results?
Image and report delivery arrangements depend on the requested examination. Please confirm these with the team when you arrange your visit.
