FAQs

What exactly is a panoramic X-ray?

A panoramic X-ray is a single image that captures your entire mouth, including the teeth, jaws, nasal area, and sinuses. It’s a useful diagnostic tool that shows structures not visible in regular dental X-rays.

Is getting a panoramic X-ray safe?

Yes. Panoramic X-rays use very low levels of radiation, much less than traditional full-mouth X-rays. Our team follows strict safety protocols to protect you during the procedure.

How long does the panoramic X-ray take?

The process is quick and usually takes less than a minute. You’ll stand still while the machine rotates around your head to capture the image.

Why do I need a panoramic X-ray?

Your dentist may recommend this type of X-ray to check for impacted teeth, jaw problems, bone abnormalities, or to plan orthodontic or implant treatments.

Will I receive the results right away?

Yes, the images are available immediately. Our dentist reviews them with you and explains any findings during your visit.
