OPG

At Alira Smiles Dental, we proudly offer OPG (Orthopantomogram) X-rays as part of our advanced diagnostic technology. An OPG is a panoramic dental X-ray that captures a comprehensive image of your entire mouth, including the teeth, jaws, temporomandibular joints (TMJ), and surrounding bone structures in just one quick scan. This technology allows us to detect a range of issues such as impacted wisdom teeth, jaw joint problems, cysts, infections, and bone loss, as well as plan treatments like orthodontics, implants, and extractions with greater precision.

The OPG scan is fast, comfortable and completely noninvasive. It typically takes less than 20 seconds to complete and uses low dose radiation, making it a safe option for patients of all ages, including children. There’s no need for any sensors or film inside your mouth, which makes the experience easy and stress free, even for those who feel anxious at the dentist.

By incorporating OPG technology into our practice, we ensure that every patient receives a thorough and accurate diagnosis, leading to more effective treatment outcomes. Whether you’re coming in for a routine checkup or a more complex dental procedure, OPG imaging gives us a complete view of your oral health so we can provide the highest standard of care in a modern, welcoming environment.
