Dental Panorama

• Panoramic dental X-ray creates an image of your entire mouth, including the upper and lower jaws, all the teeth, temporomandibular (TMJ) joints, and even your nasal area and sinuses. This makes it possible for your dentist to notice any of the following problems:
  • Bone abnormalities
  • Fractures
  • Cysts
  • Impacted teeth
  • Infections
  • Tumors
  • A dental professional may also ask you to take a panoramic dental X-ray to plan treatments like braces, implants, or dentures.
  • Another advantage of this type of X-ray is that it creates a flat representation of your jaw’s curved structure, making it easy for your dentist to analyze every part.

Cone Beam CT

• Dental cone beam computed tomography (CT) is a special type of x-ray machine used in situations where regular dental or facial x-rays are not sufficient. This type of CT scanner uses a special type of technology to generate three dimensional (3-D) images of dental structures, soft tissues, nerve paths and bone in the craniofacial region in a single scan.
•  Images obtained with cone beam CT allow for more precise treatment planning.
