Panorex
A panorex is a very impressive piece of imaging machinery in that it is
capable of identifying many issues and structures that a normal x-ray is
not. Initially you will sit in a chair with your chin on a small ledge. Once
positioned in the machine, it will rotate around your entire head taking a
full 360 degree view of the teeth, head, sinuses and bones.
The ability to view the full structure of your head as a whole is very
informative to the dentist. It will allow us to see any potential problems
and make sure that everything is functioning as it should be. The panorex is
capable of viewing specific types of structural problems, infections or
asymmetry among many others.
