X-ray examinations

Dental X-rays are taken for diagnostic purposes or for therapeutic treatment. Dental X-rays are needed when one or more dental crowns and roots are taken.

Dental X-rays show the length of the root canals, their location and the caries of the tooth.

A digital panoramic picture of the mouth (orthopantomogram) shows the overall flat view of the upper and lower jaw and the maxillary sinuses. A panoramic mouth picture is taken when:

•     when surgical removal of mental and retinal teeth is planned;
•     when orthodontic treatment is planned;
•     major prosthetic work is planned;
•     periodontal assessment is required. 

Computer tomography - The 3D image obtained with a CT scanner shows a very accurate, undistorted, realistic view of the upper and lower jaws and surrounding areas (sinuses, temporomandibular joints, airways). 

The 3D image provides detailed information on the condition of the patient's teeth and tissues in the maxillofacial area, various pathologies, fractures, root fractures, tooth position anomalies and foreign bodies. Thanks to tomography, treatment can be precisely planned:

     Implants,
     bone grafting,
     sinus lift surgery.
