FAQs
What is a panoramic X-ray?
A panoramic X-ray is a single, wide image that shows your entire mouth, including teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures. It helps dentists spot issues that might not show up on regular X-rays.
Is the panoramic X-ray safe?
Yes. Panoramic X-rays use very low radiation levels, and our digital equipment minimizes exposure while delivering clear images.
How long does the panoramic X-ray take?
The scan usually takes less than a minute. The machine rotates around your head, capturing the full image quickly and comfortably.
Do I need a panoramic X-ray every visit?
Not necessarily. Your dentist will recommend panoramic X-rays based on your dental history and current needs to avoid unnecessary exposure.
Can panoramic X-rays detect cavities?
Panoramic X-rays are better for viewing overall structure and bone issues. For small cavities, bitewing X-rays are more effective.
