Digital OPG (Dental X-Ray) in Kirti Nagar
Fast, Panoramic Full-Mouth Imaging for Precise Dental, Implant, and Orthodontic Treatments.
What is a Digital OPG Scan?
An Orthopantomogram (OPG) is a specialized, panoramic dental X-ray that captures a complete, wide-angle view of your entire mouth in a single image. Unlike standard small dental X-rays that only show a few teeth, a Digital OPG clearly displays all the teeth in both the upper and lower jaws, including those that have not yet erupted (like wisdom teeth). It also provides highly detailed images of the jawbones and the temporomandibular joints (TMJ). Dentists, oral surgeons, and orthodontists heavily rely on this fast, painless, and low-radiation scan to plan root canals, braces, dental implants, and to safely perform complex tooth extractions.
Digital OPG: What We Evaluate
Our advanced panoramic dental X-ray provides a comprehensive view of your oral health, helping dentists diagnose and plan treatments for:
Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Checking the exact position and angle of impacted wisdom teeth hidden inside the gums before performing complex surgical extractions.
Braces & Dental Implants
Evaluating the jawbone structure, density, and tooth alignment to precisely plan for braces, aligners, or the placement of dental implants.
Jaw Joint (TMJ) Issues
Diagnosing causes of jaw pain, clicking sounds, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders that affect chewing and speaking.
Cysts, Infections & Tumors
Detecting hidden, deep-rooted dental cavities, jawbone infections, cysts, or early signs of oral tumors that are invisible during a regular dental exam.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the OPG scan painful or uncomfortable?
Not at all. A Digital OPG scan is completely painless, non-invasive, and very comfortable. Unlike traditional dental X-rays where you have to bite down hard on uncomfortable film pieces inside your mouth, an OPG machine simply rotates smoothly around the outside of your head while you stand still. The actual scanning part takes less than 20 seconds.
Do I need to prepare anything before my OPG X-ray?
No special preparation or fasting is needed. However, you will be asked to remove any metal objects from your head and neck area before the scan. This includes earrings, necklaces, facial piercings, metal hair clips, hearing aids, and removable dental appliances (like dentures or retainers), as metal can distort the X-ray images.
Is it safe to get an OPG scan during pregnancy?
While Digital OPG uses a very low dose of radiation (significantly less than traditional X-rays), it is a standard medical precaution to avoid unnecessary X-rays during pregnancy. If you are pregnant or suspect you might be, you must inform your dentist and our radiology technician beforehand. If the scan is a medical emergency, a lead apron can be provided to protect your abdominal area.
