Yes. We also take X-rays for patients treated at other clinics.

Is the radiation harmful?

The dose in digital dental imaging is low, and a 3D CBCT scan has a lower dose than a conventional CT scan. If you are pregnant, let us know in advance.

In what form do I get the images?

In digital form, right after the scan. You can take them with you or send them to your dentist.

What is a cephalometric X-ray and who needs it?

It is an X-ray of the head in profile. It shows how the upper and lower jaw relate and where the teeth are, so it is taken before treatment with fixed braces. It is most often requested by an orthodontist.
