Digital Panoramic X-ray

A panoramic X-ray is a very important non-invasive diagnostic tool for our dental practice. It covers a wider area than a conventional intraoral x-ray and, as a result, provides valuable information about the maxillary sinuses, tooth positioning and other bone abnormalities. This examination is also used to plan treatment for full and partial dentures, braces, extractions and implants.

A panoramic x-ray can also reveal dental and medical problems such as:

  • Advanced periodontal disease
  • Cysts in the jaw bones
  • Jaw tumors and oral cancer
  • Impacted teeth including wisdom teeth
  • Jaw disorders (also known as temporomandibular joint or TMJ disorders)
  • Sinusitis
