FAQs
What is a panoramic X-ray?
A panoramic X-ray is a broad, one-image scan of your entire mouth including teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures. It helps dentists spot issues not visible with standard X-rays.
Is the panoramic X-ray safe?
Yes, panoramic X-rays use very low radiation levels and are considered safe for most patients. Our team follows strict safety protocols to minimize exposure.
How long does the panoramic X-ray take?
The actual imaging process is quick—usually under a minute—and painless. The machine gently rotates around your head capturing the image.
Do I need a panoramic X-ray every visit?
Not necessarily. Your dentist will recommend it based on your dental needs, history, and any specific concerns.
Will the panoramic X-ray show cavities?
Panoramic X-rays give an overall mouth view but may not reveal small cavities as clearly as bitewing X-rays. They are best for detecting larger issues and structural concerns.
