Digital Radiographs and OPG
Digital Radiographs and OPG at The Smile Place
We are proud to offer our patients the convenience of an on-site OPG machine.
The primary use of a Cone Beam Computed Tomography scanner is to plan for dental implant work, planning of root canal treatments, preparing for teeth extractions, including wisdom teeth and assisting in the diagnosis of temporomandibular disorder (TMJ disorder)
The OPG panoramic digital film can show a large field of view, including upper and lower jaw, as well as the nasal cavity and the maxillary sinuses. This form of radiograph is to check for many different conditions, including:
- Wisdom teeth problems
- Bone loss, gum disease
- Causes of jaw pain or clicking
- Infections
- Check for missing teeth
- Orthodontic issues
- Unusual pathology
- Sinus pain/blockage
The Morita scanner is very comfortable for the patient and in less than a minute, your scan is complete, your dentist receiving images to view immediately, the 3D images are extremely detailed showing in-depth pictures of bone, teeth, soft tissue and nerves using low-dose X-rays.
