Contacting the clinic
A patient comes to our clinic with a problem or for a preventive check-up. At this stage, you can make an appointment via the clinic's website or by phone.
X-ray
X-ray examination allows you to assess the condition of all hard tissues: the skull, teeth, condylar processes.
What is a panoramic x-ray?
A panoramic X-ray is a diagnostic method that provides an overview of the patient’s entire maxillofacial region in a single image. This procedure is performed using special X-ray equipment that rotates around the head, capturing all dental structures.
The panoramic X-ray procedure is ordered for a comprehensive evaluation of the teeth, roots, jawbones, and sinuses. The image shows not only the teeth and their roots, but also the condition of the jawbones, the presence of cysts, tumours, inflammation and other pathologies. This type of image is extremely useful for treatment planning, including orthodontic and surgical treatment, as well as for assessing the condition of extracted teeth and implant sites.
Performing a panoramic X-ray requires no special preparation from the patient and takes only a few minutes. The procedure is absolutely painless and minimises radiation exposure thanks to modern technology.
What do X-rays help to detect?
Panoramic dental radiographs allow the dentist to get the most complete picture of the patient’s dental system, which is important for proper diagnosis and treatment planning.
Using this method, a variety of problems can be identified, including:
Caries
Especially in the initial stages when it is not yet visually apparent.
Periodontal diseases
Allows you to assess the condition of the bone tissue surrounding the teeth.
Cysts and tumours
X-rays may show the presence of abnormal masses in the jaw bones.
Wisdom teeth problems
Including their misalignment and impact on neighbouring teeth.
Pathologies of the maxillofacial region
Congenital or acquired bone deformities.
Injuries to jaws and teeth
Allows you to assess the extent and nature of the damage.

Patient consultation and interview
During the initial consultation, the doctor interviews the patient, clarifies complaints, medical history and the purpose of the visit. This helps to select the most appropriate type of X-ray examination.

04
X-ray scanning
The process only takes a few minutes.
05
Data analysis and consultation
After receiving the X-rays, the doctor analyses them carefully to identify any problems or confirm that there are none. The doctor has an explanatory discussion with the patient to explain the results of the X-ray. Based on the information obtained, the doctor may make recommendations for further treatment or prevention.

Treatment planning
If the X-ray examination reveals any problems, the doctor will work with the patient to plan further actions to correct them.
Are oral x-rays safe?
Oral X-rays are an important tool in dentistry, allowing for early diagnosis of various diseases. Despite well-founded concerns about radiation exposure, modern technology makes this procedure safe.
The use of digital X-rays minimises the radiation dose and the use of protective equipment such as lead apron further protects patients. In addition, the relatively low radiation dose used in oral x-rays is much lower than other types of x-rays, making the procedure safe even if it needs to be repeated. Thus, thanks to modern technology and strict safety protocols, oral x-rays can be considered a safe diagnostic procedure.

F.A.Q
What are the risks of the procedure?
The risks of an oral X-ray procedure are minimal and are mainly related to radiation exposure. However, thanks to modern technology and strict safety measures, such risks are minimised. It is important to follow the recommendations for the frequency of the examinations.
What are the benefits of the procedure?
Benefits include accurate diagnosis of tooth and gum disease in the early stages, allowing treatment to begin before serious problems develop. X-rays allow the doctor to see the spaces between the teeth, the roots of the teeth and the condition of the bone.
How long does the procedure take?
The oral X-ray procedure takes only a few minutes. The taking of each image itself lasts only a few seconds.
How do I prepare for an X-ray?
No special preparation for an oral X-ray is required. It is recommended to make sure that you are not wearing any metal jewellery or accessories in the head and neck area.
Are dental x-rays safe for children?
Yes, dental X-rays are safe for children as long as protective equipment is used and the recommended frequency of the procedure is followed. The paediatric doses are adapted to the age and size of the child.
How often should dental x-rays be taken?
The frequency of X-rays depends on the individual condition of the teeth and gums. On average, doctors recommend an examination once every year or two for preventive purposes.
Can I have dental x-rays when pregnant?
During pregnancy, it is recommended to avoid all radiation exposure. However, as a last resort, if there are serious indications, the procedure can be performed using protective measures.
What dose of radiation does a person receive in an oral x-ray?
The radiation dose from oral X-rays is very low and is only a small fraction of the daily background radiation exposure a person receives from natural sources. On average, the radiation dose for one scan is between 0.005 and 0.01 mSv.
