OPG also known as ‘Orthopantomogram’ or ‘panorex’ is a panoramic scanning dental X Ray of the upper and lower jaw. It shows a three dimensional view of a half circle from ear to ear. OPGs are used by dentists to provide information on Impacted wisdom teeth, Periodontal bone loss, Finding the source of dental pain, Assessment for the placement of dental implants and Orthodontic assessment.
Only few clinics equipped with in house digital OPG, out of 1000 clinics, Dr. Gupta’s Dental Centre is the top 10 to be approved and licenced by AERB to have in house OPG facility. We are offering one of the best digital OPG in Gurgaon at our clinic.
Dr. Gupta’s Dental Implant and Orthodontic Centre is equipped with the latest RVG detector which is a major breakthrough in the digital x-rays procedure. Similar to digital photography, digital x-rays do not use conventional film. This helps us produce real time preview of the dental work and diagnosis of the patient’s mouth. These sensors are ergonomically designed to better fit the patient’s mouth and hence they are comfortable for the patients too.
We extensively use the RVG in our procedures as it gives an opportunity for the patient to understand the treatment and take better maintenance of their teeth. With 90% less emission, they are safer for the patients and produce better results. Our state-of-the-art facility in Gurgaon offers dental X-Ray procedure with world class RVG detectors.
An OPG (orthopantomogram) is a single panoramic X-ray that shows all your teeth, both jaws, the jaw joints and the surrounding bone in one image. It helps the dentist see things that a regular examination cannot, such as:
An OPG shows the whole mouth in one image and is ideal for an overview and treatment planning. An RVG is a small digital sensor placed inside the mouth that gives a highly detailed image of one or a few teeth, and is used for diagnosing cavities, checking root canal treatment and assessing individual teeth. Both images appear on a screen within seconds so you can see and understand your own diagnosis.
The OPG is quick and painless. You stand or sit in the machine, bite gently on a small guide, and stay still for a few seconds while the arm rotates around your head. You will be asked to remove earrings, glasses, hairpins and any removable dental appliances beforehand, and a protective apron may be used.
Yes. A digital OPG uses a low dose of radiation, and digital X-rays generally need less radiation than older film X-rays. X-rays are taken only when the information is needed for diagnosis or treatment planning.
Please always tell the dentist if you are or may be pregnant. Routine dental X-rays are usually postponed during pregnancy, and an X-ray is taken only if it is necessary for urgent diagnosis or treatment, with appropriate precautions.
The X-ray itself takes only a few seconds. Including positioning, the whole process usually takes just a few minutes, and the digital image is available almost immediately.
No. An OPG is completely painless. Nothing is placed inside your mouth except a small bite guide to hold your jaw in the correct position.
An OPG is a two-dimensional panoramic image of the whole mouth. A CBCT scan is a three-dimensional scan that shows bone width and depth in more detail and is sometimes needed for complex implant planning or impacted teeth. Your dentist will advise which one is needed.
The cost of an OPG depends on the type of X-ray required for your diagnosis. You will receive a clear estimate at the clinic before the X-ray is taken.
