Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective dental care — and modern dental imaging plays a crucial role in providing precise, safe, and comprehensive insights into your oral health. At Esthetic Avenue Dental Clinic in Al Furjan, Dubai, we offer OPG X-rays (Orthopantomogram) using advanced digital technology to capture high-quality, panoramic images of your teeth, jaws, sinuses, and bone structure.

What Are OPG Xray?

OPG X-rays, or Orthopantomogram scans, are panoramic dental imaging tools used worldwide by dentists and specialists to capture a complete view of the mouth — including teeth, jawbones, and surrounding structures — quickly and safely. They play a crucial role in the early detection of dental problems such as impacted wisdom teeth, bone infections, jaw abnormalities, hidden decay, cysts, tumors, and gum disease-related bone loss, enabling timely treatment and prevention. OPG scans are also essential for orthodontic and Invisalign planning, providing detailed insights into jaw alignment, tooth angles, growth patterns, and available space for precise treatment planning.

Why Choose OPG Xray?

Orthodontics (Braces & Aligners)

Before starting treatment, we assess tooth alignment, crowding, bite issues, jaw growth, and wisdom teeth to design precise and effective orthodontic plans using OPG imaging.

OPG X-rays reveal the position of impacted teeth, their relationship to nerves, jawbone structure, and any infections or cysts, ensuring safe and accurate planning for wisdom teeth removal and other surgical procedures.

We use OPG imaging to evaluate bone density, height, and health before recommending implants.

Bone loss around teeth is a key indicator of gum disease, and OPG scans clearly show bone support, the severity of bone deterioration, and the need for periodontal treatment.

OPG is excellent for pediatric patients as it captures tooth development, identifies missing or extra teeth, detects jaw growth issues, and assesses orthodontic readiness.
