Panorex

A panorex is a machine that takes images of your mouth and can identify issues and structures in your mouth that a traditional x-ray cannot identify. The benefit to the panorex is that it allows our doctors at Shoal Creek Prosthodontic Group to see beyond your teeth and into the structural problems that exist in your mouth.

Besides identifying structural issues, our panorex machine also tells if you have any infections or asymmetry that needs to be fixed. The ability to identify issues that are small at the moment and correct them before they become serious issues is important.

To use the panorex machine, we have you sit in a chair with your chin on a small ledge. Once the machine is positioned it will do a 360 rotation of your head to get a full view of your teeth, head, sinuses, and bones. From there we can view any potential issues and go forward with any necessary treatment.
