Finnish Engineering · Helsinki, Finland 
SL Dental uses flagship Finnish-made Planmeca Viso® G7 3D technology
With over 50 years of Finnish dental engineering excellence, the Planmeca Viso® G7 represents the pinnacle of cone beam 3D imaging. Because our Santa Monica center is 100% dedicated to diagnostic imaging, every patient benefits from hospital-grade 3D clarity at a flat $49 price.
Planmeca Ultra Low Dose™ Protocol
Scientifically proven 3D imaging algorithms reduce effective patient radiation dose by up to 77% - often lower than a standard 2D panoramic X-ray - strictly adhering to the ALARA principle without sacrificing diagnostic detail.
Planmeca CALM™ & ARA™ Artifact Removal
Intelligent movement correction (CALM™) cancels out slight patient motion so retakes are rarely needed, while Metal Artifact Reduction (ARA™) eliminates streaks around existing crowns, bridges, and titanium implants.
Romexis® 3D Implantology & Universal DICOM
Creates ready-to-use 3D volumes for virtual implant placement, nerve tracing, and surgical guides in Planmeca Romexis®, NobelClinician, 3Shape, Blue Sky Plan, and all standard dental CAD/CAM suites.

Before Your Visit · FAQ
Common questions about 3D CBCT & panoramic scans
Everything you need to know about pricing, radiation safety, referrals, and file delivery.
How much does a dental CBCT scan or panoramic X-ray cost in Santa Monica?
A 3D dental CBCT scan at SL Dental in Santa Monica costs $49, and a 2D panoramic X-ray costs $49 (each scan priced separately, including immediate digital email delivery to your dentist). Optional add-ons include a physical USB flash drive (+$10) and a formal written radiology interpretation report (+$150).
Do I need a prescription or referral from my dentist?
Yes - under California regulations, diagnostic X-ray and CBCT imaging requires an order from a licensed dentist or physician. Your doctor can submit our online referral form in 30 seconds, or you can bring a paper or digital referral note to your appointment.
What is included in the $49 price?
Each $49 scan includes the requested capture on our Planmeca Viso® G7 system (either a 3D dental CBCT volume or a 2D panoramic X-ray, priced separately), Planmeca CALM™ motion correction, and direct digital DICOM/JPEG delivery to your dentist. Optional add-ons: a physical USB flash drive (+$10) and a written radiology interpretation report (+$150).
How fast will my dentist receive the scan files?
Digital files are typically emailed directly to your dentist within one minute after the scan is completed - before you even leave Suite 314.
How long does the appointment take and how does the scan work?
The entire visit takes about 5 minutes. Everything is simple and clear: our technician positions you comfortably in the Planmeca Viso® G7 scanner, and the actual scan takes only a few seconds.
How much radiation is involved in a Planmeca Viso® G7 scan?
All our units include Planmeca Ultra Low Dose™ technology, which reduces effective patient radiation dose by up to 77% without losing diagnostic resolution - often comparable to or lower than a standard 2D panoramic X-ray.
Does SL Dental diagnose the images or sell dental treatment?
No. SL Dental is an independent, imaging-only center. We never upsell dental procedures or compete with your doctor. Standard $49 scans include image acquisition and delivery to your treating dentist. If a separate formal written radiology interpretation report is needed, it can be ordered as an optional service for +$150.
Can I get a scan if my dentist is in another state or outside the United States?
Yes! Many patients visiting doctors across the US, Europe, Latin America, or Asia get their 3D CBCT or 2D panoramic scan here for $49. We email the universal DICOM volume straight to your doctor and can also copy it onto a $10 USB drive for travel.
