We received some enquiries on panoramic xrays which we routine take on the patient’s first visit.

 Xrays are taken to investigate a complaint

 Xrays are also taken in asymptomatic patients. Sometimes, there are incidental findings.

 A digital panoramic xray machine looks like this.

 The patient will be in this position when the xray is taken.

 The captured image is almost immediately displayed on the monitor.

There is virtually no processing time. The digital image helps the dentist diagnose the complaint or to screen for any potential problems.
