Panoramic X-rays play an essential role in helping patients and dental professionals understand the complete structure of the mouth. At Sullivan Dental Center, our dentists and team use this advanced imaging technology to gain detailed insights into the jaw, teeth and surrounding anatomy, all with a single, comfortable scan.
Unlike traditional X-rays that focus on individual teeth, panoramic images show a full, 360° view of your entire mouth in one image. This makes it easier to detect problems early, plan treatments more accurately and ensure that your care is based on a complete picture of your dental health. This diagnostic tool is especially useful for evaluating wisdom teeth, jawbone structure, impacted teeth and other concerns that may not be visible with a standard exam.
Comfortable, Efficient and Low-Exposure Imaging
One of the reasons patients appreciate panoramic X-rays is the simplicity of the process. The machine rotates around your head while you remain still, usually standing or seated. The scan is quick and completely non-invasive, requiring no discomfort or preparation.
Our dentists and team explain each step before the scan begins, so you always know what to expect. The entire process takes only a few minutes, and the results are available almost instantly.
Panoramic X-rays use a very low level of radiation, making them safe for most patients. This technology helps us detect early warning signs and track changes in your oral health over time, supporting both preventive care and more advanced planning when needed.
