Embracing the latest advancements in dental diagnostic technology, we are pleased to offer panoramic X-rays at our practice, ensuring comprehensive care for our patients. Panoramic X-rays stand out by providing a detailed, wide-angle view of your entire mouth in a single image. This innovative technique captures not just the teeth, but the upper and lower jaws, surrounding structures and tissues, making it an invaluable tool in our diagnostic arsenal.
The process of obtaining a panoramic X-ray is both quick and comfortable. Unlike traditional X-rays that require individual shots of different sections of your mouth, panoramic X-rays are taken externally, with a machine that rotates around your head. Within seconds, we obtain a detailed image that aids in diagnosing a wide range of dental conditions, from impacted teeth and bone abnormalities to tumors and infections.
Benefits of panoramic X-rays include:
- Comprehensive examination of dental and facial bone structure
- Detection of potential issues that are not visible with standard X-rays
- Aiding in the planning of treatments such as dental implants, braces, extractions and more
- Minimized radiation exposure compared to multiple traditional X-rays
- A faster, more comfortable experience for the patient
Panoramic X-rays are a testament to our commitment to incorporating advanced technology to enhance patient care. This tool allows us to view your oral health in unprecedented detail, enabling precise diagnosis and effective treatment planning.
