What Problems Could A Dental X-Ray Reveal?
Dental X-rays help detect oral issues that aren’t visible during a standard exam.
Tooth decay
Dental X-rays help detect hidden tooth decay between teeth or beneath existing fillings early, before pain or visible damage occurs.
Wisdom teeth
An OPG scan clearly shows the position, size, and level of impaction of wisdom teeth, helping guide removal decisions if needed.
Jaw issues
An OPG dental X-ray reveals jawbone alignment, detects fractures, and highlights joint issues that may affect chewing, speech, or oral function.
Infection
Teeth X-rays can identify infections in the tooth pulp, roots, or surrounding bone, allowing for early treatment before symptoms worsen.
Bone loss
Dental X-rays allow dentists to assess bone loss caused by gum disease, trauma, or long-term tooth infection around affected areas.
Growth monitoring
In children, dental X-rays assist with tracking the development of teeth and jaws, ensuring proper spacing and identifying orthodontic concerns early.
Procedure For OPG & Lat Ceph
The OPG and Lat Ceph dental X-ray procedures are simple and painless. For an OPG X-ray, you’ll stand still while the machine rotates around your head, capturing a panoramic image of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures. For a Lat Ceph X-ray, which is often used in orthodontics, your profile is captured from the side to assess jaw and tooth alignment. Both are fast, taking less than five minutes, and require no preparation. Our team ensures you’re positioned correctly for accurate imaging. dental X-rays such as the OPG dental X-ray and Lat Ceph X-ray give dentists the full picture needed for precise treatment planning.
