Panoramic Dental X-Rays
in Twin Falls, ID
A complete view of your teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures helps
Dr. Tyler Elison provide informed, personalized dental care.
A Complete View of Your Smile
A panoramic dental X-ray captures your entire mouth in a single image, including your teeth, jawbones, jaw joints, and nearby structures. This broad view can reveal concerns that may not be visible during a routine examination.
What Can Panoramic X-Rays Help Us Evaluate?
Dr. Elison may recommend panoramic imaging to evaluate:
- Impacted or developing teeth
- The position of wisdom teeth
- Jawbone health
- Infections, cysts, or unusual changes
- Jaw joints and tooth alignment
- Dental implant and treatment planning
Panoramic images complement traditional dental X-rays, which provide more detailed views of individual teeth and smaller areas.
Quick and Comfortable Imaging
Unlike traditional dental X-rays, panoramic imaging does not require a sensor to be placed inside your mouth. You will remain still while the scanner gently rotates around your head, capturing the image in just a few moments.
Once complete, Dr. Elison can review the image with you and explain any findings or treatment recommendations.
