Panoramic X-rays are a powerful diagnostic tool that allows your dental team to capture a complete image of your mouth in a single scan. This technology provides a comprehensive view of the teeth, jawbones, sinuses and surrounding structures, making it easier to detect concerns that may not be visible during a standard examination. Our dentist and team use panoramic imaging to ensure precise diagnosis and treatment planning.

How Panoramic X-Rays Work

Unlike traditional dental X-rays that focus on specific areas, panoramic X-rays take a full-circle image of the entire mouth. The scanner moves around the patient’s head, creating a clear digital image without placing any film inside the mouth. This method is comfortable, fast and ideal for patients of all ages. It also reduces exposure to radiation compared to multiple traditional X-rays.

Panoramic imaging can help identify:

  • Impacted teeth and wisdom teeth
  • Jawbone abnormalities
  • Cysts, tumors or infections
  • Orthodontic issues
  • Sinus conditions affecting oral health

Because of the clarity and scope of these images, we can diagnose problems early and recommend personalized treatment plans more efficiently.
