What the scan is for
A cone beam CT scan is a 3D image of the jaw. In Ontario the office needs a CT Facility Permit to run one, and the dentist needs a CT Member Authorization to order it. If the dentist decides a scan is clinically justified for you, they will say why. If they don't, you won't have one.

Your plan, in writing
The steps, the visits and an estimate, before anything starts.
Your first visit
- A talk, then an exam. You say what you are hoping for. The dentist looks at your mouth and asks about your health history.
- A decision about the scan. The dentist decides whether a 3D scan is clinically justified for you and explains the reason either way.
- A plan to take home. The steps, the visits and a written estimate, so you can think it over without being asked to decide.
Start with a conversation.
Leave a number or an email and say what you would like to talk about. A consultation is where the dentist examines you and explains the options, and nothing is decided at the desk.
