Full-mouth digital imaging for a complete view of your teeth and jaws, at Highfield Dental Clinic, Edgbaston.
Getting a clear, complete picture of your oral health starts with the right imaging. Our practice uses advanced panoramic technology to support accurate diagnosis.
An OPG, or orthopantomogram, is a panoramic X-ray that captures a single image of your entire mouth, including all your teeth, upper and lower jaws, and surrounding bone. It gives our dentists a broader view than a standard small X-ray, helping identify issues such as impacted teeth, bone loss, cysts or the position of wisdom teeth.
At Highfield Dental Clinic, OPG imaging supports accurate planning across a range of treatments, from routine care through to more complex procedures.
If your dentist has recommended a panoramic X-ray, our Edgbaston team can arrange this quickly and comfortably.
