Panoramic X-Rays
One of the essential diagnostic tools in modern dentistry is the panoramic x-ray.
Panoramic x-rays are two-dimensional images that provide a very broad view of the teeth, jaws, sinuses, jaw joints and nasal areas. They are not designed to find cavities like other x-rays. Rather, they reveal problems such as impacted teeth, bone abnormalities and fractures, infections, and cysts or tumors. Because of this, they are a staple technology in any oral or maxillofacial practice. Panoramic x-rays provide an accurate and trusted diagnosis so that the most viable treatment plans can be executed.
