FAQs
Are dental X-rays really safe?
Absolutely. Our digital systems use 90% less radiation than traditional film. A full set of digital X-rays = less radiation than a 2-hour flight!
Does a biopsy mean I have cancer?
Not at all. Most biopsies rule OUT cancer. We recommend them whenever tissue looks abnormal – better safe than sorry.
Why would I need a CBCT scan instead of regular X-rays?
CBCT provides 3D views for complex cases like dental implants– ensuring perfect treatment planning.
Is pulp testing painful?
You’ll feel brief cold or tingling sensations, andWe stop immediately if you raise your hand.
