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.
