What Is an OPG Scan?
An Orthopantomogram (OPG) is a panoramic dental X-ray that captures your upper and lower jaws, teeth and surrounding structures in a single image. It helps our clinicians assess your oral health, identify hidden concerns and plan treatment with greater confidence.
OPG imaging is frequently used during routine assessments, oral surgery planning, orthodontic treatment and wisdom tooth evaluations.
