An overview of the jaws
A panoramic X-ray brings teeth and jaws together in a two-dimensional image. It helps assess their general arrangement, including the position of wisdom teeth. It complements examination of the mouth rather than replacing it.

YOUR DENTIST
Dr Houda Agunaou
At Horizon Center, Dr Houda Agunaou discusses the imaging needed for your assessment and the proposed care. Your consultation is an opportunity to discuss discomfort, expectations and the stages of your proposed care.
YOUR TREATMENT JOURNEY
A full assessment,
clearly explained steps.
Assessment and reviews take place at the practice, which you can explore before your visit.
Clarifying the purpose
The consultation establishes the question the image should answer. Mention a known or possible pregnancy and previous examinations. Ask why panoramic imaging is recommended and how it will contribute to your assessment.
Positioning you in the equipment
The team guides head positioning and explains which metal objects to remove. The equipment rotates around the head during acquisition. Remain still and follow instructions to limit movement that could make the image difficult to read.
Connecting findings with your care
Your dentist interprets the image alongside the clinical examination. Ask what was observed, whether further investigation is needed and what happens next. For a copy or transfer to another practitioner, ask the practice about the arrangements.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Preparing your decision,
asking your questions.
Is panoramic imaging performed on site?
Yes. 2D panoramic radiology, 3D cone beam imaging and digital optical impressions are available at Horizon Center. Contact the practice to arrange your appointment and explain your request.
Is this a 3D scan?
No. A panoramic X-ray produces a two-dimensional image. Cone beam imaging provides three-dimensional data. The choice depends on the information needed and must be justified by the assessment.
Do I need special preparation?
Preparation is generally straightforward. The team explains positioning and which objects to remove from the area being examined. Mention any difficulty remaining still or maintaining the requested position so your setup can be adapted.
Does it hurt?
Taking the image does not involve an invasive procedure. Positioning requires some attention and you need to remain still. Tell the team about any discomfort before acquisition.
Can I have an X-ray during pregnancy?
Always mention a known or possible pregnancy before imaging. Your dentist assesses the need, timing and appropriate precautions. Do not postpone essential care on your own; discuss your circumstances with your clinician.
