OPG & CEPH X-Rays

OPG (Orthopantomogram) and CEPH (Cephalogram) are types of dental x-rays. These are taken by a specialised x-ray machine.

An OPG produces a panoramic view of the jaw.

A CEPH x-ray is a diagnostic radiograph of facial structures, primarily taken for orthodontic treatment planning.

Dental x-rays are quick, painless, and expose the patient to a minimal amount of low-level radiation, whilst providing invaluable information to Dentists, Orthodontists and alike.

What are the benefits of an OPG and CEPH x-ray?

At Mooroolbark Dental Surgery, you can take these x-rays at our dedicated room, so that we can diagnose your teeth at your appointment, saving you time from going to and forth to a radiology.

Our dentists can use these x-rays at your dental check-up to monitor and determine:

  • Teeth (general review)
  • Teeth (cavities)

  • Fractures
  • Dislocation
