Step into the realm of advanced dental diagnostics with panoramic X-rays, a powerful tool that provides a comprehensive view of your oral health. Unlike traditional intraoral X-rays, panoramic X-rays capture a wide, detailed image of the entire mouth and surrounding structures in a single shot.
Panoramic X-rays are often recommended for a variety of dental scenarios. If you are undergoing a comprehensive oral examination, planning for orthodontic treatment or experiencing persistent jaw pain or dental issues, our dentist may recommend a panoramic X-ray to gain a holistic understanding of your oral health. Additionally, these X-rays are beneficial when assessing impacted teeth, evaluating the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) or detecting potential oral pathologies.
During a panoramic X-ray, you will have the machine rotate around your head as it takes images of your oral structures. The process is non-invasive and quick, typically taking just a few minutes. Dr. Nerissa Aquino will provide specific instructions to ensure the clearest image possible.
The advantages of panoramic X-rays extend beyond their convenience. They offer a comprehensive view of dental structures, aiding in early detection of issues such as tumors, cysts or impacted teeth. This advanced diagnostic tool enhances treatment planning accuracy, contributing to more effective and personalized dental care.
