Dental OPG

We Help You Stand Out with Dental OPG

If a dental OPG is in your future, you shouldn’t panic about it. Orthopantomogram is an abbreviation for “Orthopantomography Panoramic Radiograph of the Lower Facial Region,” and it describes a specific sort of low-radiation X-ray.

Unlike traditional dental X-rays, which only show individual teeth, panoramic X-rays can display all teeth in the upper and lower jaws on a single film. Using an OPG, dentists can see issues with the jawbone and the temporomandibular joint and see issues with teeth that have already erupted and those that have yet to break the surface.
 
OPGs are very helpful for detecting impacted wisdom teeth, jaw injuries, and abnormal growths in the jawbone.

Advantages of Choosing Dental OPG Imaging

Assessment of impacted teeth

An OPG can help dentists identify impacted teeth or not those not emerging properly. This can help with planning treatments such as orthodontics or extractions.

Accurate Diagnosis

This technology can provide images of the temporomandibular joint, which can help diagnose conditions such as temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) or detect any pathologies.

Evaluation of jawbone health

An OPG can reveal bone loss or other abnormalities in the jawbone, which can be important for diagnosing conditions such as osteoporosis, osteomyelitis or detecting any pathologies in the bone.

Planning for dental implants

When you need detailed images of teeth, gums and jawbone for planning dental implant placement, OPG is ideal.

 

Detection of oral cancer

An OPG can detect abnormal growths or lesions in the mouth or jaw, a sign of oral cancer.

Assessment of sinus health

This technology can also show the condition of the sinuses and help dentists identify any sinus-related dental issues.
