A Panorex, or panoramic dental X-ray, provides a wide view of the upper and lower jaws and teeth. Richmond Dental Centre offers Panorex imaging alongside other digital dental X-rays when a broader view is useful for diagnosis or treatment planning.

What Is a Panorex X-Ray?

A Panorex is a panoramic image that captures the jaws, teeth, and surrounding structures in one broad view. Unlike small intraoral X-rays that focus on a limited area, a panoramic image can be useful when the dental team needs to assess overall tooth position, developing or impacted teeth, and broader jaw relationships.

Benefits of Panorex X-Ray

  • Provide a broad view of the upper and lower jaws
  • Show the position of many teeth in a single image
  • Support assessment of impacted or developing teeth
  • Assist with selected orthodontic and surgical planning
  • Complement smaller digital X-rays when a wider view is needed

What to Expect With a Panorex X-Ray

A panoramic X-ray is taken using an imaging unit that moves around the head while you remain positioned in the machine.

Positioning: Your dental team positions your head and bite so the image can capture the intended structures.

Image Capture: The panoramic unit moves around your head while the image is recorded.

Digital Review: The resulting image provides a broad view for your dentist to examine.

Clinical Interpretation: Your dentist reviews the Panorex together with your symptoms, examination, and any other necessary dental images.

Treatment Planning: The image can help guide orthodontic, surgical, restorative, or other dental decisions when appropriate.

Our office is located at 8211 Cook Road in Richmond, BC, and Richmond Dental Centre welcomes new patients, walk-ins, and dental emergencies.
