I want to get implants and have been told I need an expensive CT scan, is this necessary?

Q.
i havejust been to a dentist and have enquired about implants and have been told that i will have to be referred fora ct scan and the cost will be £350.00 this seems rather expensive and wondered if you could explain why
A.
Thank you for your enquiry.

Some cases do need CT Scans for implants – this is a 3D image of your jaw showing exactly the depth of bone and how close the nerves are so you can plan exactly where you would place the implant. This will help to give you the best success for the placement of the implant.

Whilst a CT Scan is expensive sometime it really is necessary.
