Purpose of the Scan

A Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scan is a 3D imaging technique used to provide a detailed view of your dental and facial structures. This is necessary for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning for your specific case.

Benefits and Radiation Risk

a) Benefits: Increased diagnostic accuracy, identification of critical nerves and sinus locations, and more predictable surgical outcomes.

b) Risks: This procedure involves exposure to a small dose of ionizing radiation. This facility follows the ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principle to ensure you receive the lowest dose possible for a high-quality image.

c) Alternatives: 2D imaging (Panoramic/Periapical). I understand that 2D images may not provide sufficient information to safely complete my proposed treatment.

Mandatory Professional Interpretation

To ensure the highest standard of care and to screen for any abnormalities (incidental findings) outside the area of dental interest, every scan performed at this facility requires a formal radiologic report.

a) Review Process: Your scan will be interpreted by a qualified practitioner in-house or securely transmitted to Canaray Oral & Maxillofacial Radiology for a specialist report.

b) Reporting Fee: The cost of the scan includes this mandatory professional review.

c) Timeline: Formal reports typically take ten to fourteen (10-14) business days. You will be notified of any significant findings that require further medical or dental consultation.

d) Incidental Findings: Any incidental findings identify in the radiologic report will be communicated to the Referring Dentist listed above, who is responsible for any required follow-up or referral.

Fees & Financial Responsibility

The total fee for the CBCT scan and professional interpretation is $CAD:
