Dental Imaging

Dental Imaging can be conducted through a variety of imaging modalities to assess your teeth, jaw and facial joints. OPG is a rotational panoramic dental X-Ray that allows the dentist to view the upper and lower jaws, including the teeth. Our OPG units are specifically designed to rotate around your head during the exam.
