Digital Panoramic X-ray

A digital panoramic X-ray is not only advisable for complex procedures but also for general dental treatments. Unlike smaller intraoral X-ray machines, which provide highly focused images of individual teeth, a panoramic X-ray offers a comprehensive overview of the entire dentition. The resolution and image quality of smaller devices are inferior to those of a digital panoramic X-ray system.

A panoramic X-ray is essential for detecting hidden dental abnormalities such as tooth decay, bone and gum disease, filling defects, and sinus infections. It is commonly used for:

• Detecting dental caries
• Oral cancer screening
• Wisdom tooth inflammation
• Pre-surgical evaluation in oral surgery
• Identifying causes of gum bleeding and periodontal disease
• Diagnosing dental cysts and inflammatory lesions
• Pre-orthodontic assessment
• Persistent sinus infections
• Pre-implantation evaluation

Many dental conditions are not visible during a routine oral examination, making panoramic X-rays crucial for obtaining a complete picture of oral health.

Thanks to cutting-edge technology and the precise targeting of X-ray beams to a limited area, the radiation exposure during a digital panoramic X-ray is minimal, making it safe even for young children. Additionally, a lead apron is used during the imaging process, doubling the level of protection.

To put it into perspective, the radiation dose received from a single panoramic X-ray is equivalent to the natural background radiation you would be exposed to during a five-minute walk near Margaret Bridge in Budapest.

After the examination, your digital panoramic X-ray will be sent directly to your email, allowing for easy download and seamless forwarding to your treating physician. Upon request, we can also provide the image on a physical storage device.

Your digital panoramic X-ray is securely stored in our closed database. If you ever need a copy, we will provide it free of charge. The results will only be released to you personally or, with written authorization, to a designated family member.
