OPG
OPG – Full Mouth Digital X-Ray
An OPG (Orthopantomogram) is a full mouth digital panoramic X-ray that provides a complete view
of your teeth, jawbones, sinuses, and surrounding structures in a single scan. At Dr. Ritika’s
EndoElite Dental Clinic, our advanced OPG facility ensures accurate diagnosis, safe radiation levels,
and high-resolution imaging for precise treatment planning.
OPG scans help identify hidden dental issues such as impacted teeth, bone health, infections,
fractures, cysts, and abnormalities. The process is quick, painless, and essential for modern
dentistry, ensuring that every treatment is guided by clear and detailed imaging.
Why Is an OPG X-Ray Needed?
An OPG scan is one of the most important diagnostic tools in dentistry. It is recommended for:
• Detecting cavities, infections, and gum disease
• Evaluating wisdom teeth and impacted teeth
• Assessing jawbone structure and bone density
• Planning orthodontic treatments (braces/aligners)
• Identifying cysts, tumors, and sinus issues
• Pre-surgical evaluation for implants and extractions
OPG imaging provides a comprehensive picture of your oral health, helping your dentist diagnose
problems early and plan treatments with accuracy and safety.
