Digital Panoramic X-Rays with Carestream CS 8100

Our office utilizes the Carestream CS 8100 Digital Panoramic System to provide high-quality diagnostic images that help us evaluate your oral health quickly, comfortably, and accurately.

A panoramic X-ray captures a complete image of your teeth, jaws, temporomandibular joints (TMJ), sinuses, and surrounding oral structures in a single scan, allowing for comprehensive diagnosis and treatment planning.

What Is a Panoramic X-Ray?

A panoramic X-ray is a specialized digital image that provides a broad view of your entire mouth and facial structures.

Unlike traditional dental X-rays that focus on only a few teeth at a time, panoramic imaging captures:

  • All upper and lower teeth
  • Jawbones
  • Wisdom teeth
  • Temporomandibular joints (TMJ)
  • Sinuses
  • Surrounding oral and facial structures

This comprehensive view helps identify conditions that may not be visible during a routine clinical examination.
