Panoramic X-Ray

Comprehensive, Painless Imaging. See the Full Picture of Your Dental Health.

When it comes to understanding your oral health, sometimes we need to take a step back and look at the bigger picture—literally. That’s exactly what a Panoramic X-Ray allows us to do. At Affinity Dental Clinics, we use digital panoramic X-rays to provide a complete and accurate view of your mouth, jaws, and surrounding structures, all in one image.

Whether you’re coming in for braces, wisdom teeth assessment, or dental implants, panoramic X-rays are often the first step in crafting a safe and effective treatment plan.

What Is a Panoramic X-Ray?

A panoramic X-ray (also called a panoramic radiograph or “pano”) is a special type of dental imaging that captures the entire mouth in a single image—including all the teeth in both upper and lower jaws, the jawbones, sinuses, temporomandibular joints (TMJs), and surrounding tissues.

Unlike traditional dental X-rays that focus on small areas, panoramic X-rays offer a broad overview of the mouth. They are extraoral, meaning the machine moves around your head and no sensors need to be placed inside the mouth—making it extremely comfortable even for patients who have a strong gag reflex or dental anxiety.

When Do Dentists Recommend a Panoramic X-Ray?

A panoramic X-ray is typically used to:

• Assess impacted wisdom teeth
• Evaluate orthodontic needs (e.g., braces or Invisalign)
• Plan for dental implants
• Detect jawbone loss or abnormalities
• Monitor TMJ issues
• Identify cysts, tumors, or sinus problems
• Track the development of permanent teeth in children
• Check for dental infections that may affect large areas

Because it provides a broad and detailed image, it’s a trusted tool for diagnosis and treatment planning in both general and specialty dentistry.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Getting a panoramic X-ray is a simple, painless process that takes only a few minutes:

1️⃣
You will be asked to stand or sit still while placing your chin on a small rest.
2️⃣
A gentle bite block is placed to align your teeth properly.
3️⃣
The machine rotates around your head in a semicircle.
4️⃣
In less than 20 seconds, the image is complete! There’s no discomfort involved, and since it’s non-invasive and fast, it’s ideal for both adults and children.

Panoramic X-Ray and Dental Implants

Before placing dental implants, we need to understand the structure of your jawbone, the positioning of your sinuses, and the spacing between teeth. A panoramic X-ray provides an essential overview to assess if bone grafting, sinus lifts, or other preparations are needed. This ensures your implant journey is safe and successful.

At Affinity Dental Clinics, implant dentistry is one of our core specialties—and panoramic X-rays play a crucial role in our success rate.

Part of a Bigger Picture in Modern Dentistry

Panoramic imaging isn’t always used alone. It often works alongside CBCT scans, periapical X-rays, and clinical exams to give us a complete understanding of your dental health. Think of it as the first step in a well-thought-out plan that leads to better outcomes.
