Are you planning to have All on 4 implants? If so, then you will have to talk to your dentist to find out if you are the right candidate for the procedure. It is actually a long process that may require CT scanning. You may be worried about the amount of radiation as well as the costs associated. An important question you might have, is whether a CT scan is actually needed? Most dentists will ask you to go for a CT scan before all on 4 dental implants where the scan is very important.
Dental cone beam computed tomography (CT) is a special x-ray which requires taking 3-D images. Dental x-rays are done once a year mainly to produce highly focused images and a panoramic x-ray to capture the image of your full jaw. Unless you are suffering from a major oral concern, your dentist will not restrict the panoramic x-rays you need. Also, ultra-low doses are being administered as the least amount needed to deliver the images. Unfortunately, a panoramic x-ray has certain limitations as it is not a 3-D view for all on 4 dental implants.
