FAQs About Digital X-Rays
Digital dental X-rays help your dentist see areas that are not visible during a regular visual exam. They may be used to check for cavities, infection, bone levels, impacted teeth, root concerns, and other changes affecting your oral health.
A Panorex, or panoramic X-ray, captures a wide view of your teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures in one image. It can be helpful for evaluating wisdom teeth, jaw development, missing teeth, dental infections, and overall treatment planning.
A cephalometric X-ray, often called a ceph, captures a side-view image of the head and jaw. It may be used to evaluate bite alignment, jaw relationships, and orthodontic or clear aligner treatment planning.
