Dental Imaging

At El-Shenawy Dental Clinics, we provide up-to-date dental imaging technology to enable proper diagnosis and accurate treatment planning. Our clinics utilize both 2D panoramic X-ray and 3D dental x-ray (CBCT) in order to see structures that cannot be diagnosed with a clinical examination.

These imaging technologies support a wide range of dental procedures, from routine assessments to more complex surgical planning. By being able to provide both options in-house, we can guarantee a quick result, better accuracy and flawless coordination between diagnosis and treatment.

2D Panoramic vs 3D Dental X-Ray: What is The Difference?

El-Shenawy Dental Clinics offers 2D and 3D in-house dental imaging to facilitate accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning. Each technology has its own particular use based on the level of detail required for your case.

• 2D Panoramic X-Ray
  A 2D scan provides a broad view of your upper and lower jaws, teeth, and the surrounding areas. Used for routine dental examinations, orthodontic assessments, and pre-extraction evaluations.
  
  
• 3D Dental Scan (CBCT)
  Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) provides an accurate three-dimensional image of the teeth, bone, nerves, and soft tissues. The scan is required for advanced procedures such as dental implants, surgical procedures, and endodontic treatment.

The Importance of Panoramic Dental X Ray

1. Identify and evaluate the impacted third molars.
2. Diagnosis of jaw injuries.
3. Bone loss around the teeth and determination of bone injuries.
4. Evaluation of dental replacement procedures
5. Determining the source of tooth pain
6. For orthodontic treatment
7. Diagnosis of growth deformities and tumors in jaw angles
8. Diagnosis of salivary stones
9. Evaluation of the general condition of the jaw and teeth.

Panoramic Dental X Ray Prices 2025

Dental panoramic x-ray prices can vary based on individual needs and may change due to fluctuations in material costs from year to year. At El-Shenawy Dental Centers, we offer panoramic radiology at competitive rates and we are committed to offering transparent, competitive digital x-ray dental price while maintaining the highest standards of care. Our team will inform you of all costs in advance and ensure you receive the most appropriate imaging for your treatment plan.

Panoramic radiology provides a comprehensive image and wide coverage of the facial bones and teeth, making them suitable for all patients, especially those who may have difficulty opening their jaws widely.

The Benefits of 3D Dental X-Ray Scanner

El-Shenawy Dental Clinics utilizes advanced 3D dental X-ray technology to capture extremely detailed three-dimensional images of your teeth, jaw bone, nerves and surrounding structure. The accuracy and diagnostic capability of this technology is far superior to 2D imaging, which has limited applications in complex treatments and surgical planning.

3D dental imaging is commonly used for:

• Accurate planning and placement of dental implants
  
  
• Spotting and evaluating problems with TMJ (jaw joint) disorders
  
  
• Detailed assessment of bone structure and density
  
  
• Detection of cysts, tumors, or sinus abnormalities
  
  
• Surgical planning for impacted teeth or bone grafting
  
  
• Clarifying findings not fully visible on 2D X-rays

Procedures Prior to Dental Imaging

Before your dental imaging appointment,  a few simple steps help ensure the scan is clear and effective:

• Remove all metal items, regardless how tiny it could be
  
  
• Take out removable dental appliances, such as retainers or partial dentures
  
  
• Avoid wearing braces or metal-supported accessories during the scan
  
  
•  Stay still for approximately 15–20 seconds while the image is being taken
  
  
• Follow the instructions of our imaging specialist for optimal positioning
