Jaw Assessment OPG Scan
Diagnostic OPG Scans for Jaw Pain and Pathology in Godalming
OPG for jaw infection in Godalming
Unexplained jaw pain, swelling, or suspected trauma requires immediate and accurate diagnostic imaging. At North Lane Dental Practice, we provide detailed OPG scans for patients from Godalming to investigate jaw fractures, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) issues, dental cysts, and deep-seated infections.
The Orthopantomogram is a powerful diagnostic tool that captures the entire maxillofacial region in one image. It allows our clinicians to identify hidden pathologies such as bone cysts, tumors, abscesses, or structural abnormalities in the jawbone and joints that are invisible during a standard clinical examination.
We understand that jaw pain or trauma can be distressing. Our compassionate team ensures that patients arriving from Godalming receive prompt attention. The digital OPG scan is completed in seconds, allowing for rapid diagnosis and the immediate formulation of an appropriate treatment or referral plan.

Can an OPG scan show jaw joint problems?
Yes, an OPG scan includes views of the temporomandibular joints (TMJ) on both sides of the jaw. It can help dentists identify signs of joint degeneration, arthritis, or structural abnormalities contributing to jaw pain.
Is an OPG scan useful for finding dental cysts?
Absolutely. Dental cysts and tumors often grow silently within the jawbone without causing early symptoms. A panoramic OPG scan provides a broad view of the bone, making it much easier to detect these hidden pathologies.

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!
