Intraoral Cameras

When you visit our office, our dentists and team will want to gather as much information as possible about your oral health. Dr. Meigan Miller or Dr. Robert Johnson may use panoramic X-rays in Eatonton, Georgia, for a complete view of your smile. We will use these X-rays to look for potential health issues and plan your treatment. For more information and to plan your visit, call 706-485-9031 today.

In order to provide you with the best possible care, it is essential for our dentists to accurately evaluate and diagnose your oral health. One of the state-of-the-art tools we use to do that is panoramic X-rays. While standard X-rays, called bitewing X-rays, provide us with a view of a few teeth and the supporting bone structure, panoramic X-rays allow us to view the full upper and lower dental arches — including all of the teeth, the upper and lower jawbones, and the surrounding facial structures. Using panoramic X-rays, our oral health professionals can:

• Assess the need for orthodontics and evaluate the progress of treatment
• Diagnose impacted wisdom teeth and other impacted teeth
• Analyze the development of periodontal disease
• Evaluate the TMJ (jaw joint) and diagnose a TMJ disorder
• Detect oral cancer
• Plan dental implant placement
• Diagnose cavities (tooth decay) and other dental problems
• Evaluate the extent of dental or facial trauma
• Detect abscesses, cysts and tumors

Using the panoramic X-ray machine is fast and comfortable. The machine simply rotates around your head and provides our dentists with high-definition, nearly instantaneous images that we can then use to evaluate your oral health. We invite you to call or visit us today to learn more about panoramic X-rays.
