With the same benefits of digital X-rays, our state of the art digital panoramic machine allows us to minimize exposure to radiation. The digital panoramic(PAN) allows us to get a larger view of a patients entire mid and lower face including the jaw joints. Pans are often used to evaluate wisdom teeth, temporomandibular joints, eruption of children’s teeth, teeth positioning for orthodontics, jaw fractures, and can even be used in some cases to replace the many X-rays within your mouth in patients who have limited opening or trouble with gagging.
