Our Panoramic X-Ray utilizes a new digital-level panoramic system. Optimized panoramic image quality and reconstruction is made possible through the use of computer controlled motors.

The panoramic X-ray -- gives a broad overview of the entire mouth. It supplies information about the teeth, upper and lower jawbone, sinuses, and other hard and soft tissues of the head and neck.

One advantage of the panoramic X-ray is its ease of use. Unlike other X-rays where the film is placed inside the patient’s mouth, the panoramic film is contained in a machine that moves around the patient's head. Some people may be familiar with the panoramic X-ray because it is usually taken when the wisdom teeth are being evaluated.

The panoramic X-ray has many other applications, including evaluating patients with past or present TMJ or jaw joint problems; those who require full or partial removable dentures, dental implants, or braces; those who are at risk or suspected of having oral cancer or other tumors of the jaw, have impacted teeth (especially wisdom teeth) or have had any recent trauma to the face or teeth (e.g., can help identify a fractured jaw); and for those who cannot tolerate other types of films (severe gaggers).
