OPG X-ray for wisdom teeth in Ash

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 Ash, 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 Ash, 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.

OPG X-ray for wisdom teeth in Ash

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.

How long does an OPG scan take? +

The entire process is very quick. The actual scanning time, where the machine rotates around your head, takes only about 10 to 15 seconds. Including preparation, your appointment will usually take less than 10 minutes.
