A panoramic X-ray is a single dental image that shows your teeth, jaws, and nearby structures in one wide view. It helps us look for problems that may not show up during a visual exam.

Why would I need a panoramic X-ray?

We may recommend one to check wisdom teeth, jaw development, bite issues, bone health, or signs of infection and decay. It can also help with treatment planning.

Are panoramic X-rays safe?

Panoramic X-rays use a low level of radiation, and we only take them when they are helpful for your care. If you have concerns, our team can walk you through them.

Does the X-ray take a long time?

No, it is usually quick. The scan itself takes just a short time, and the process is simple for most patients.
