Tauranga OMS has installed a  state of the art digital imaging system to provide patients with either standard OPG  2-dimensional or  CBCT 3-dimensional radiographs as required. The amount of radiation patients are exposed to is minimal, and the process is entirely painless.

The orthopantomogram (OPG or panex) provides immediate high quality images of all teeth and supporting hard tissues with minimal radiation exposure to enable our surgeons to rapidly diagnose then offer treatment  in a manner that is readily visualised and understood by patients.

The Cone Beam Computer tomography (CBCT) is the three dimensional version of the OPG and provides greater detail over a wider area for more complex case management. Both imaging systems have sophisticated surgical planning software which is used to plan safe and predictable surgery. The Tauranga OMS surgeons use this for all implant surgical planning.
