X-Rays

Dental X-Rays are an essential part of providing quality dental care to our patients. X-Rays provide our dentists with insight into the layout of teeth and their structure within the jaw. At Hillier Road Dental & Implant Centre we offer both standard x-rays as well as the OPG x-rays.

What are OPG X-Rays?

OPG X-Rays is a type of technology that can get a panoramic x-ray of both the upper and lower jaw, including the teeth. The OPG X-Ray machine is designed to rotate around the head during a scan so as to get a complete view of the jaw structure. OPG X-Rays are used to identify:

• Fractures
• Dislocated Jaw
• Teeth Structure
• Infections
• Planning of Surgical Treatment (such as implants)
