Dental OPG (Panoramic X-Rays) at London Dental Centre
What are OPG Panoramic X-Rays?
Orthopantomogram (OPG), also known as panoramic x-rays, is a type of dental x-ray that provides a wide view of the upper and lower jaws, including the teeth, jawbones, sinuses, and other important structures. This imaging technique is essential for diagnosing various dental issues, planning treatments, and monitoring oral health.
Why Choose OPG X-Rays?
Comprehensive View: Offers a complete picture of your mouth, allowing for thorough examination and diagnosis.
Non-Invasive: A simple and painless procedure that provides crucial insights without any discomfort.
Quick and Efficient: The entire process takes only a few minutes, providing instant results for immediate analysis.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an OPG X-Ray used for?
OPG X-Rays are used to:
Detect dental issues such as impacted teeth, jaw abnormalities and more
Plan treatments for orthodontics, extractions, and implants.
Evaluate jawbone health and monitor conditions like TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders.
How does an OPG X-Ray work?
An OPG machine rotates around your head, capturing a panoramic image of your mouth and jaw. This allows the dentist to see all your teeth and related structures in a single image, making it easier to diagnose and treat various conditions.
Is an OPG X-Ray safe?
Yes, an OPG x-ray is safe. The radiation exposure from an OPG x-ray is minimal. The dose is much lower than that of a traditional x-ray, and protective measures are taken to further minimize exposure. At London Dental Centre, we use the latest technology to ensure your safety and comfort.
How should I prepare for an OPG X-Ray?
No special preparation is needed for an OPG x-ray. You will be asked to remove any jewelry or metal objects from the head and neck area to avoid interference with the imaging.
Will I feel any discomfort during the OPG X-Ray?
No, the OPG x-ray procedure is completely painless. You simply stand or sit still while the machine rotates around your head.
