At Enhance Dental Centre, we use advanced diagnostic tools to give you the best care possible. One of the most valuable imaging techniques we offer is the panoramic dental X-ray. This quick, painless scan provides a complete picture of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures, all in a single image.
A panoramic X-ray (also known as an OPG X-ray) is a special imaging technique that captures your entire mouth in one picture. Unlike traditional X-rays that focus on small sections, a panoramic scan gives your dentist a full view of:
All teeth in both the upper and lower jaws
Jawbone and surrounding bone structure
Sinuses, nasal area, and temporomandibular joints (TMJ)
This wide-angle view helps us detect dental issues that may not be visible during a standard exam.
Why Are Panoramic X-Rays Important?
Panoramic X-rays are an essential tool for preventive and diagnostic dental care. They allow our dentists in Vancouver, BC to:
Detect impacted wisdom teeth
Identify jawbone abnormalities, cysts, or tumors
Plan orthodontic treatments and dental implants
Evaluate TMJ disorders
Spot hidden decay, fractures, or infections
Because the scan covers so much area in a single image, it’s often used for treatment planning and early detection of oral health problems.
