OPG & Cephalometric X-Ray

OPG (Orthopantomogram) is a panoramic dental X-ray that captures a wide image of all teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures. It is commonly used for wisdom teeth assessment, dental infections, bone pathology, and orthodontic planning.

Cephalometric X-rays provide side or front facial profiles used for orthodontic evaluation, jaw growth assessment, and pre-treatment planning.

Advantages:

  • Fast and comfortable
  • Very low radiation
  • Digital images sent directly to dentists
  • Medicare bulk-billed when eligible

CBCT (Cone Beam CT)

CBCT is a 3D dental imaging scan offering high-resolution views of the teeth, jaws, sinuses, airway, and facial structures. It is essential for:

  • Dental implant planning
  • TMJ assessment
  • Orthodontic planning
  • Surgical extractions
  • Airway and sinus evaluation
  • Jaw pathology and trauma

CBCT offers superior detail with lower radiation than medical CT, and 3D datasets are compatible with specialist planning software.

TMJ Imaging

TMJ imaging assesses jaw joint structure and function, useful for diagnosing:

  • Jaw pain, clicking, or locking
  • Arthritis or joint degeneration
  • Trauma
  • Asymmetry
  • Pre-surgical or orthodontic needs

Open-mouth and closed-mouth images help evaluate joint movement and alignment. Digital low-dose technology ensures safe, fast imaging.
