FAQs
Answers for patients and referring clinics
Clear information on booking, safety, scan types and how results are delivered.
What is the difference between OPG and CBCT?+
An OPG is a single 2D panoramic X-ray of the full mouth. CBCT creates a 3D volume so your dentist can examine bone, teeth and nerves from any angle — essential for implants, complex surgery and detailed diagnosis.
Do I need a referral?+
Most scans are performed on referral from your dentist or specialist. Bring your referral slip so we capture the exact study requested. Contact us on WhatsApp if you are unsure.
How long does a scan take?+
Exposure itself is usually seconds. Plan for about 15–30 minutes at the center for registration, positioning, scanning and image checks, depending on the study.
How do I get my images?+
We commonly provide images on USB or a printed card for you to take to your dentist. DVD, film, email and cloud delivery are also available — tell us your preference when you book.
Is CBCT radiation safe?+
CBCT uses ionising radiation at doses carefully controlled for dental diagnosis. Our Planmeca system includes Ultra Low Dose protocols. Always inform staff if you are pregnant. Your referring clinician decides when imaging is clinically justified.

Do you image children for orthodontics?+
Yes. We routinely perform OPG, cephalometric and selected CBCT studies for orthodontic patients. Our team helps with positioning and comfort; parents are welcome to accompany children in the waiting area.
What technology do you use?+
We image on the Planmeca ProMax 3D Classic with Planmeca Romexis software — including extended volumes, CALM movement correction and Ultra Low Dose options.
Can referring dentists send patients easily?+
Yes. Share our WhatsApp number or website. Patients book by message; we return clear digital datasets and physical media as preferred by your clinic.
