Dr. Faisal Mirza can use panoramic X-rays to examine your entire jaw. This helps us determine the cause of any developing problems and to plan more precise treatments, such as implant placements.

A Full View of Your Oral Health
Unlike traditional dental X-rays that focus on small sections of the mouth, panoramic X-rays provide a broad view of the entire jaw. This imaging method captures the upper and lower jaws, all teeth, temporomandibular joints, sinuses and surrounding structures. This comprehensive image helps our dentists evaluate both existing conditions and underlying issues that may not be visible with other imaging tools.
Because the scan is fast, comfortable and noninvasive, it is a convenient diagnostic option for patients of all ages. The rotating arm of the panoramic machine moves around the head while you stand or sit still, completing the scan in just a few seconds.
Why Panoramic X-Rays Matter
Panoramic X-rays are a valuable tool for diagnosing a wide range of oral health conditions. They are especially useful when planning more complex treatments or assessing areas that are otherwise hard to see.
Key benefits of panoramic X-rays include:
• Early detection of tumors, cysts or growths in the jawbone
• Evaluation of impacted or unerupted teeth
• Planning for dental implant placement or orthodontic treatment
• Assessment of jawbone health and sinus structure
• Monitoring temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders
By using panoramic technology, our dentists can make more informed decisions about your care and ensure a safer, more accurate treatment plan.
