Digital Panoramic X-ray
Our digital panoramic x-ray is an important machine that provides us with information that is not typically obtained with traditional intraoral x-rays. In one shot, our panoramic x-ray provides us with an entire picture of your whole jaw, including all the teeth, the jaw joints, and sinuses. The American Dental Association recommends all patients receive a panoramic image every 3-5 years to rule out infection, cancer, tumors, and many more problems that can be identified on this type of x-ray. Because our panoramic x-ray machine is digital, it also means you will receive very minimal radiation during your x-ray.

Springbrook Family Dentistry has made an addition to our high-tech imaging services to better our provide patients with the highest level of dental care. While standard dental x-rays are crucial to get a proper picture of any problems in the mouth, sometimes a 2-D picture representing a three-dimensional object is not adequate for full diagnosis and treatment planning. CBCT allows us to form a 3-D recreation of both the hard and soft tissues of the skull in order to provide the highest possible accuracy. This added level of detail aids tremendously in treatment planning implants, diagnosing infections, and even evaluating the airway for potential signs of Obstructive Sleep Apnea. The modern CBCT not only adds valuable clinical data producing incredibly detailed images, but does so with a low-dose of radiation, ensuring the safety of all our patients. CBCT helps us provide better care, along with better communicating that care to you.
