Panorex X-ray – Low Radiation

As the name suggests, a Panorex X-ray makes a complete “panoramic” half circle from ear to ear to produce a complete two dimensional representation of all your teeth to give an overall picture of your teeth and jaw bones. The Panorex or panoramic X-ray film allows us to see a complete picture view of your smile, jaw and oral region, all at one time. We have the most advanced Paronex with much less radiation than conventional x-rays.

This view of your oral region is accomplished by rotating the X-ray film around your head for about 12 seconds as you remain as still. We obtain a total view and a high quality picture. The Panorex is good for individuals who have difficulty holding x-ray films in their mouth. It may provide information about many health conditions including…

• Tooth fractures of the teeth and/or the jaws can be seen when it is difficult to open your mouth
• Diagnosing Temporomandibular Joint (Jaw hinge) dysfunction
• Viewing impacted wisdom teeth
• Detecting presence of bone or gum diseases
• Diagnosing early signs of oral cancer
• Surveying the sinus region
• Screening for stroke, osteoporosis, and other systemic diseases
• Obtaining baseline data for long-term dental health
• Evaluation for full or partial removable dentures, dental implants, or braces.
