Digital Panorex

When we take a digital intraoral X-ray, we take an X-ray of one area of your mouth to see what the teeth in that area look like. With our digital Panorex system, we take a 'panoramic' picture of your teeth. The machine makes an entire half circle motion, to capture an image of the entire oral cavity. This image is useful in diagnosing medical conditions such as Cancer and infections. This Digital Panorex technology gives us an anatomically correct geometric picture, eliminating shadows and gives us a constant magnification of what we are viewing. This assists us in your initial visit allowing us to better determine what the best and most comprehensive treatment plan that will fit your dental needs. Along with the Digital intra-oral X-rays, the digital Panorex reduces the amont of radiation a patient receives by about 90%.

Panoramic X-rays provide a broad view of the jaws, teeth, sinuses, nasal area, and temporomandibular (jaw) joints in one large picture. This type of X-ray reveals problems such as impacted teeth, bone abnormalities, cysts, solid growths (tumors), infections, and fractures.

We are extremely excited about having this diagnostic aid in our Poughkeepsie dental office as we are one of the very few who have one in the area. Knowing we may be able to catch certain pathologies early, and potentially save lives is honestly thrilling!
