Panoramic X-rays: your whole smile in one image

A single panoramic image shows all of your teeth, both jaws, and the surrounding structures — without anything placed in your mouth.

Panoramic X-Rays

The big picture

While standard X-rays focus on a few teeth at a time, a panoramic X-ray captures your entire mouth in one wide view as the machine rotates around your head.

It’s especially helpful for checking wisdom teeth, planning implants, evaluating the jaw joint and spotting issues in the bone.

  • Full view of teeth and jaws
  • Nothing placed in your mouth
  • Helpful for wisdom teeth and implants
  • Quick and comfortable

Questions

Panoramic X-Rays FAQ

When is a panoramic X-ray used?

Often for new patients, wisdom teeth evaluations, implant planning, or when we need a broader view than standard X-rays provide.
