OPG (Dental X-Ray) & Cephalogram
Orthopantomogram (OPG) — a panoramic dental X-ray that produces a single wide-view image of all teeth, jaws and surrounding structures.
Overview
An Orthopantomogram (OPG) is a panoramic X-ray of the upper and lower jaws that captures all teeth and the surrounding bony structures in a single image. It is the most commonly used dental radiograph for comprehensive evaluation of the teeth, bone levels, temporomandibular joints (TMJ), sinuses and the mandible.
At Dr. Anand's Diagnostic, OPG is performed on a dedicated panoramic X-ray unit using digital acquisition, delivering high-resolution images with minimal radiation dose. Reports are provided with same-day turnaround and are widely accepted by dental surgeons, orthodontists and maxillofacial surgeons.
