Dental X-Rays (OPG & RVG) at Apollo Dental Clinic, Suchitra, Hyderabad
Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective dental treatment. One of the most reliable and essential diagnostic tools in modern dentistry is the dental X-ray. At Apollo Dental Clinic Suchitra, we offer both OPG (Orthopantomogram) and RVG (RadioVisioGraphy) digital X-rays to help detect underlying oral health issues with precision and minimal radiation exposure.
Whether you’re planning for a root canal, orthodontic treatment, dental implants, or routine dental check-ups, advanced X-ray imaging helps us identify concerns before they become bigger problems.
What Are OPG and RVG X-Rays?
OPG (Orthopantomogram) is a panoramic X-ray that captures a full view of your entire mouth—including all teeth, upper and lower jaws, sinuses, and temporomandibular joints. It is ideal for planning treatments that involve multiple teeth or full mouth assessments.
RVG (RadioVisioGraphy) is a digital intraoral X-ray that captures detailed images of individual teeth or specific areas. It is commonly used for detecting cavities, monitoring root canal therapy, and evaluating tooth roots.
Both technologies use minimal radiation and produce instant, high-resolution digital images.
