X-Ray

A PA X-Ray (Periapical X-Ray) provides a detailed view of your tooth and jawbone. It helps dentists:

• Identify the exact cause of tooth pain
• Detect decay, cracks, or infections not visible to the eye
• Plan safer and more accurate dental treatments

• Toothache with unclear cause
• Deep cavity close to the nerve
• Suspected impacted wisdom tooth
• Loose tooth or serious gum problems
• Dental or jaw trauma

When a clinical exam isn’t enough to find the real cause of tooth pain, an OPG X-Ray is often recommended. This panoramic X-ray gives a full view of your mouth – including all teeth, upper and lower jaws, and jaw joints.

1. Wisdom Teeth Problems – Detects wisdom teeth that are tilted, trapped, or pushing against other teeth.
   
2. Hidden Tooth Decay – Shows damaged or infected roots not visible from outside.
   
3. Gum Disease & Bone Loss – Helps assess bone damage in cases of advanced gum disease (periodontitis).
   
4. Cysts or Tumors – Detects abnormalities such as cysts, abscesses, or growths.
5. Treatment Planning – Essential before extractions, braces, implants, or jaw surgery.

✅ Full-mouth image in one scan
✅ Fast, painless, and safe
✅ Low radiation dose
✅ Provides accurate diagnosis for treatment planning

Lateral cephalometry is a special head and jaw X-ray used in orthodontic treatments (braces or clear aligners). It shows the position of teeth, jawbones, and overall facial structure to design a precise treatment plan.

• Crowded, misaligned, or gapped teeth
• Protruding or recessed upper/lower jaw
• Bite problems (overbite, underbite, crossbite)
• Difficulty chewing or speaking clearly
• Unbalanced facial profile due to jaw alignment

✅ Brush teeth twice daily to prevent plaque build-up
✅ Use floss or orthodontic brushes if wearing braces
✅ Avoid sticky, hard, or sugary foods that damage teeth
✅ Attend regular dental check-ups to monitor progress
✅ Follow dentist’s advice if a cephalometric X-ray is required for accurate treatment

CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) is a 3D dental imaging technology that provides highly detailed views of your teeth, jaws, nerves, and surrounding structures. It is crucial for safe and precise planning of complex dental treatments.

• Persistent tooth pain with unclear cause
• Gum or jaw swelling
• Impacted or tilted wisdom teeth
• Jaw pain or clicking sound while chewing
• Cracked, fractured, or injured teeth/jaw
• Complex treatments like implants, root canal therapy, or oral surgery

✅ High-resolution 3D images
✅ Accurate planning for implants, extractions, and orthodontics
✅ Helps detect hidden problems in teeth, nerves, and bone
✅ Safe with controlled radiation exposure
