Wisdom Tooth OPG Scan
Specialised OPG Scans for Wisdom Teeth in Frimley
OPG for impacted wisdom tooth in Frimley
Impacted or problematic wisdom teeth can cause severe pain, swelling, and damage to adjacent teeth if not properly assessed. At North Lane Dental Practice, we offer high-resolution OPG (Orthopantomogram) scans for patients from Frimley, providing a comprehensive panoramic view of your entire jaw. This advanced imaging is crucial for evaluating the exact position of wisdom teeth before extraction.
Our state-of-the-art digital radiography equipment captures a full-mouth image in just a few seconds. By visualising the roots of the wisdom teeth and their proximity to the inferior alveolar nerve, our dentists can plan safe and predictable surgical extractions. This level of precision minimizes risks and ensures a smoother recovery process.
Located conveniently for residents of Frimley, our modern dental clinic is equipped to handle complex wisdom tooth cases. If you have been referred for an OPG scan or are experiencing wisdom tooth pain, our experienced team is ready to provide fast, comfortable, and highly accurate diagnostic imaging.

Why do I need an OPG scan for my wisdom teeth?
An OPG scan provides a wide-angle view of your upper and lower jaws, which a standard small dental X-ray cannot capture. It reveals the exact angle of impaction, the shape of the roots, and how close the roots are to major nerves and sinuses, ensuring the extraction is planned safely.
Is the OPG scan procedure uncomfortable?
Not at all. The procedure is entirely painless and non-invasive. You simply stand still while the imaging machine rotates around your head for about 10 to 15 seconds. There is nothing placed inside your mouth that would cause a gag reflex.

The team are wonderful and very helpful. The dentist I saw was Dr Hema Rajah, who was absolutely amazing and a true artist at dentistry.
A big thank you to Dr Hema Rajah, Sophie, Abbey and Lucie.
I can honestly highly recommend North Lane Dental Practice to anyone (especially nervous patients).
Dr Hema and Sophie have been so helpful with advising me the best procedure to suit my needs and I feel completely at ease with them and trust them fully.
Abbey on reception has been so lovely and happy to answer any queries that I have.
For the first time in a long time, I actually look forward to my dental appointments.
I canβt wait to see my finished results in the months to come and would absolutely recommend to all!
From booking appointments, to the actual treatment and surgery. Everything is to the highest standard, and the friendly staff add to brilliant atmosphere.

Although originally very nervous and self conscious all the staff have been amazing and my dentist Dr Hema Rajah could not have been more patient and caring. After just a few months of Invisalign treatment my teeth already look so much better and I canβt wait to see the finished article. Little things make such a difference, a warm welcome when you arrive, a genuine catch up, plenty of parking, and appointments being always on time are just a few of the things that make this practice exceptional.
I love my new smile and look forward to seeing all the staff every time I visit! Lucie was so helpful and in all a lovely person thank you for all the chats and laughs never a dull moment when I arrive for my dental appointments :D Dr Hema is just amazing at what she does! thank you for being so helpful and getting my teeth so perfect they really are better then I ever expected!
