I was experiencing some intense tooth pain that had come on several days earlier. The receptionist arranged for me to see Dr. Custer right away. He diagnosed my problem, and gave me prescriptions to address the infection and pain.

3D X-rays FAQs

Got a question? We’re here to help.

  • Are 3D X-rays safe?

    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.
