It is a standard of care to get the CT scan prior to the dental surgery.
No, but is very helpful.
Yes
It isn't required however the more information that your dentist can have about your anatomy before a procedure, the better position every one is in for the best outcome possible.

A CT scan (CBCT [cone beam CT]) most commonly) is recommend prior to dental implant surgery because it gives the most information about the amount and quality of bone available and the relationship of the planned implant site with neighboring teeth, the maxillary sinus, inferior alveolar nerve, nasal cavity, and the incisive canal.
