At Medax Dental and Implant Centre, we use cutting-edge technology to ensure accurate diagnosis and superior dental care. One of the key tools we rely on is the OPG Digital X-ray—a powerful imaging system that captures a complete panoramic view of your mouth in just seconds. Whether you’re planning for braces, implants, or need an assessment for wisdom teeth or jaw pain, OPG imaging helps us see the full picture—clearly and painlessly.
An OPG (Orthopantomogram) digital X-ray is a panoramic scanning dental X-ray of the upper and lower jaw. It provides a 2D image that includes:
All teeth in both jaws
The bones of the jaw and temporomandibular joints (TMJ)
Sinuses, nasal structures, and surrounding bone structures
Unlike intraoral X-rays, which show a small section of your mouth, an OPG captures everything in a single image—allowing for better planning, early diagnosis, and comprehensive evaluation.
The OPG is a non-invasive, low-radiation procedure and is completely safe, even for children and seniors.
OPG imaging is commonly used for a wide range of dental and oral health conditions. You may need one if:
You are getting dental implants, braces, or dentures
You are experiencing jaw pain or TMJ issues
You have impacted or erupting wisdom teeth
You have persistent dental pain or swelling
You require assessment of trauma, infection, or cysts
You need evaluation of bone structure before oral surgery
You are undergoing a full mouth rehabilitation plan
Because it gives a full-mouth view, OPG is also an excellent screening tool for early detection of conditions like jaw tumors, bone loss, or sinus infections related to dental issues.
At Medax Dental and Implant Centre, we ensure a quick, safe, and completely painless experience. Here’s what to expect:
Preparation
No special preparation is needed. You may be asked to remove any metal objects like earrings or glasses. Our friendly staff will guide you through each step.
Positioning
You’ll be asked to stand or sit in front of the machine, gently biting on a small plastic tab to stabilize your head. We make sure you’re comfortable and correctly positioned for an accurate scan.
Image Capture
The OPG machine rotates smoothly around your head, taking a panoramic image in about 10–20 seconds. You won’t feel any discomfort or pressure—just stand still and relax.
