❓Q&A Post: Why Are X-Rays Needed?❗️
————————————————————————
❓Q: Why does my oral surgeon need X-rays (or 3D scan) before treatment?
❗️A: X-rays (or 3D scans) give your Oral Surgeon a complete view of your teeth, jawbones, and nerves — our CT machine captures a complete, high-resolution view of your teeth, jawbone, sinuses, and nerves — in just seconds — with a fraction of the radiation of traditional CTs.

These images help your OMS:
• Detect hidden infections or impacted teeth
• Evaluate bone health before implants or extractions
• Plan surgeries precisely to avoid nerves and sinuses
• Diagnose cysts, tumors, or other jaw pathologies early

Also if you ever wondereded why we ask that you remove all metal objects such as earrings, glasses, partials, and retainers…see second image 🤓😂
