Details.
An Orthopantomogram captures panoramic images of the teeth, gums and jaw bones. The machine rotates around the head and the scan takes less than 10 seconds, with the examination typically taking 5 minutes in total. Bring your medical referral, Medicare card, other relevant healthcare cards and previous scans or reports relating to the area being scanned, if they were not undertaken at Marina. No appointment is necessary, although an appointment is beneficial if you prefer a specific time. You may be asked to remove metallic objects near the head and neck. During the scan, you place your chin on a chin rest, bite a sterile mouthpiece and remain still while the machine rotates around your head.
