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. What are the benefits of panoramic x-rays? • They offer a comprehensive view of the mouth, not just target areas • They aid in the diagnosis of various dental issues • Their images are used to plan a wide range of procedures accurately • They allow for early detection of hidden dental problems • They reduce exposure to radiation • They are quick and comfortable When might you have a panoramic x-ray taken? Panoramic x-rays are commonly used during routine check-ups to monitor oral health. They may also be used before surgical procedures or orthodontic treatments. For patients with jaw pain or TMD, panoramic x-rays are used to evaluate the joint's condition.
"My goodness! I can't say enough good about Warren & Law. From the moment I walked in, Miss Brooklyn greeted me with a smile even though she was on the phone. The Dental Assistant was sweet & took interest in me personally. Dr. Moberly had a real conversation with me then discussed my concerns. Then after Jennine (I am sorry if I misspelled your name) was so polite & helpful! I then received a call for my cleaning to get in the same day! The other important thing for me was CLEANLINESS! Overall a top notch dental office!"
