A Proper Diagnosis Is A Key To A Successful Treatment
If you’ve ever had a dental problem or a serious dental condition, your dentist may have recommended an OPG or CBCT scan. These are both types of dental imaging techniques that allow dentists to see inside your mouth and diagnose problems that may not be visible to the naked eye.
So, what exactly are OPG and CBCT scans, and how do they differ from each other? Let’s take a closer look.
OPG (Orthopantomogram) Scan
An OPG scan is a type of panoramic X-ray that shows a wide view of the entire jaw, including all the teeth in both the upper and lower jaws, as well as the temporomandibular joints (TMJs) and the nasal and sinus areas. This type of scan is commonly used to diagnose a range of dental conditions, such as:
- Tooth decay and cavities
- Gum disease
- Wisdom teeth problems
- Jaw fractures
- Cysts and tumors
- Orthodontic assessment
An OPG scan is quick, painless, and non-invasive. The patient sits in front of the machine with their chin resting on a small support and a digital sensor is moved around the head to capture the image.
CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) Scan
A CBCT scan is a type of 3D imaging technology that produces a detailed and highly accurate image of the mouth, including the teeth, bones, and soft tissues. It uses a cone-shaped X-ray beam that rotates around the patient’s head, capturing hundreds of images in just a few seconds.
A CBCT scan is used for more complex dental cases that require a higher level of detail and precision, such as:
- Dental implant planning
- Orthodontic assessment
- Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder diagnosis
- Oral and maxillofacial surgery
- Endodontic diagnosis and treatment planning

Our Services
Dental cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a special type of x-ray equipment used when regular dental or facial x-rays are not sufficient. Your doctor may use this technology to produce three dimensional (3D) images of your teeth, soft tissues, nerve pathways and bone in a single scan.
