Panoramic Digital X-Rays

Cheng Dental we use some of the most advanced technologies and equipment in dentistry to provide the highest quality of care for our patients. Panoramic x-rays are among the technologies we use frequently to identify and treat dental issues effectively.

What Is a Panoramic X-Ray?

A panoramic x-ray is a two-dimensional image that offers a view of a patient’s oral cavity and some surrounding structures. This type of x-ray shows an image of the patient’s teeth, jawbones, sinuses, temporomandibular joint, and other surrounding details. At Jonathan C. Cheng, DDS Inc., Dr. Cheng uses panoramic x-rays to identify dental problems early on so that proper treatment can be provided early.

What Are Panoramic X-Rays Used For?

Dr. Cheng typically recommends panoramic x-rays since it is a vital screening tool in identifying dental problems such as impacted wisdom teeth, temporomandibular joint issues, and pathologies such as cysts or tumors.
