Panoramic X-Rays in The Villages

At Village Dental, we offer advanced panoramic x-rays to provide a complete and detailed view of your entire mouth, including teeth, jaws, sinuses, and surrounding bone structure. This essential diagnostic tool helps our dentists accurately assess your oral health and plan effective treatments with precision.

What are Panoramic X-Rays?

Panoramic x-rays are a type of dental imaging that captures a single, comprehensive image of your entire oral cavity. Unlike traditional bitewing or periapical x-rays that show only small sections of your teeth, panoramic x-rays display all teeth, upper and lower jawbones, temporomandibular joints (TMJ), nasal area, and sinuses in one image.

This broad perspective allows our dentists to detect issues that might be missed with standard x-rays, such as impacted teeth, jawbone irregularities, cysts, tumors, fractures, or developmental abnormalities.

How Does the Panoramic X-Ray Procedure Work?

The panoramic x-ray process is quick, painless, and non-invasive. You will stand or sit while a specialized machine rotates around your head, capturing images from multiple angles. The entire scan typically takes less than a minute.

Once captured, the digital image is immediately available for our dental team to review using specialized software. This instant access allows us to diagnose problems early and plan treatments more effectively.
