Yes, dental 3D x-rays are safe. You will get more radiation if you have a chest x-ray or if you fly from New York to Los Angeles than you would with our 3D x-ray.

What are the advantages of 3D X-rays?

Because 3D x-rays can show angles and features of teeth and bone that may not be visible with traditional 2D x-rays, they can be especially helpful in the diagnosis of degenerative conditions or potential problems. 3D x-rays can also allow for more precision when placing implants, treating breathing disorders, and locating impacted wisdom teeth.
