Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about CBC & OPG Scan.

OPG is a 2D panoramic X-ray showing the entire jaw on a single image; CBC (CBCT) produces 3D volumetric views revealing bone, canals and spatial relationships crucial for implants and complex diagnostics.

No special preparation is usually required. Remove metal jewelry and glasses; bring any previous dental records or imaging. Pregnant patients should inform staff. The team at Sky Dental Clinic will guide you through the quick, safe process.

Both OPG and CBCT use low-dose dental imaging protocols. CBCT radiation is higher than panoramic but still low; we adhere to ALARA principles and only scan when clinically justified to minimize exposure.

Most imaging appointments take less than fifteen minutes. The OPG or CBCT capture itself lasts seconds to a minute, with positioning and review adding a few extra minutes for accurate results.
