Panoramic Radiography

Panoramic radiography is a type of X-ray imaging that captures a wide view of the mouth, jaws, teeth, and surrounding structures in a single image. Unlike traditional X-rays, which show only a small area, panoramic X-rays provide a comprehensive overview, helping dentists diagnose issues like tooth alignment, cavities, infections, and jaw disorders. The patient stands or sits while the machine rotates around their head, taking images that combine into one large picture. This technique is quick, safe, and valuable for planning treatments and understanding dental health.
