What is Panoramic X-Ray?
A panoramic X-ray (orthopantomogram or OPG) captures the entire upper and lower jaw, all teeth, and surrounding structures in a single wide-format image. It is an indispensable diagnostic tool that reveals hidden decay, bone levels, impacted teeth, cysts, and jaw abnormalities. At MedProper Istanbul, panoramic radiography is complimentary as part of your initial dental assessment.
How Does Panoramic X-Ray Work?
- 1You stand or sit inside the panoramic X-ray unit and bite gently on a positioning guide.
- 2The machine rotates around your head in about 15 seconds, capturing a full-jaw image.
- 3The digital image is immediately available on screen for your dentist to review with you.
- 4Your dentist analyses bone density, tooth roots, nerve canals, and any pathology to finalise your treatment plan.
Who is a Good Candidate for Panoramic X-Ray?
- All dental patients undergoing initial assessment for implants, crowns, or extractions
- Patients with suspected impacted wisdom teeth or jaw pathology
- Individuals needing a comprehensive overview of their oral health before extensive treatment
- Those whose last full-mouth X-ray is more than 12 months old

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. A digital panoramic X-ray delivers roughly 0.01 mSv of radiation, equivalent to a day of natural background exposure. It is considered very safe for adults.
Correct. MedProper includes the panoramic X-ray free of charge when you visit for a dental assessment.
If your OPG is less than six months old and of diagnostic quality, your dentist can often work from it. However, a fresh image on arrival ensures the most accurate planning.
A panoramic X-ray is a 2D image ideal for general assessment. A 3D cone-beam CT scan (CBCT) provides volumetric data and is used when implant placement, sinus lifts, or complex surgical planning requires precise measurements.
