Panoramic x-ray of teeth

Panoramic x-ray of teeth.

Each of us knows that a beautiful smile always attracts the attention of others. But in order to have healthy teeth and a beautiful smile, it is important to periodically visit the dental office, where a professional dentist can assess the condition of your teeth, and in case of any problems, prescribe an effective treatment.

When visiting a dental clinic, we are almost always concerned about whether the dentist will be able to identify and recognize your dental problem and, of course, cure it. In particular, these issues concern the older generation. As you know, correct diagnosis is 50% of successful treatment. In order to comprehensively and accurately identify the pathology of the oral cavity, panoramic images of the teeth, which are also called orthopantomograms, are used with great success today.

What is a panoramic dental X-ray?

Panoramic X-ray of the teeth is a special X-ray examination that allows you to get a panoramic image of the lower and upper jaws in a few minutes to assess the condition of the periodontium and make the correct diagnosis, as well as draw up an appropriate treatment plan.

By visiting the 101 Dentists portal, you can find the highest quality dental clinics in the capital, which are equipped with digital orthopantomographs that allow you to reduce the radiation dose by several times. Thanks to the orthopontomogram, you can get accurate overview information about the state of the jaws, for a visual assessment of the state of the joints, possible changes and fractures, the number of erupting teeth, as well as their rudiments, facial sinuses, bone structure, etc. A panoramic x-ray is also recommended when removing wisdom teeth, to determine the location of the roots relative to vital anatomical structures.

When is a panoramic X-ray required?

As a rule, a panoramic X-ray is required to be taken:

When diagnosing caries on the subgingival and interdental surfaces;
When diagnosing secondary caries under crowns and fillings;
To control the treatment of dental canals;
To assess the state of the periapical bone tissue in periodontitis and periodontal disease;
When prosthetics, implantation and extraction of teeth.

What are the advantages of a panoramic image over an x-ray?

Thanks to the panoramic image, it is possible to identify impacted teeth that do not erupt normally, put pressure on adjacent teeth and subsequently cause permanent injuries to the inner surface of the cheek or tongue. Panoramic X-ray also allows you to detect cysts and granulomas, which at the initial stage can be removed without surgery. A conventional x-ray simply does not detect such problems, since it is performed in a targeted manner, on one specific tooth.

Prices for a panoramic X-ray in Kyiv

Some patients may mistakenly think that a panoramic x-ray will cost them more than a regular x-ray at a local dental clinic. In this matter, it is important to know that the price of such a service will indeed be somewhat higher, however, the procedure itself is speedy and safe, and information about the result of an orthopantomogram is more extensive and useful for a dentist.

Approximate prices for a panoramic X-ray range from 150 UAH to 400 UAH. A panoramic image for 150 UAH is perhaps the lowest for all dental clinics in the city, but we can offer you a better price.
