What is a oral & maxillofacial radiologist?

An oral and maxillofacial radiologist specializes in interpreting dental imaging — panoramic films, CBCT (cone-beam CT), and other 3D imaging used to plan implants, evaluate impacted teeth, and diagnose pathology.

Training

After dental school, an oral radiologist completes a 2- to 3-year accredited residency. Board certification is through the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology.

When to see one

  • Patients usually don't see them directly — they're consulted by referral
  • Your dentist may send your CBCT scan to a radiologist for interpretation
  • Some imaging centers are operated by oral radiologists
Frequently asked

Questions about oral & maxillofacial radiologists

  • Why would my dentist refer my scan to an oral radiologist?
    CBCT scans cover the whole jaw and surrounding structures. A radiologist reviews the entire scan — including findings that aren't directly related to the original reason for the scan. This is the standard of care for medico-legal reasons.
