Dental X-rays and 3D tomography in Galați

The Chiromax dental imaging centre operates in Galați, at 82 Domnească Street, in the same building as the clinic. We perform dental X-rays and 3D scans both for our own patients and for patients referred by other dentists.

The radiology laboratory is equipped with digital machinery, and the scan is carried out in the clinic, without the need for a separate appointment at another centre. The images go directly to the doctor who determines the diagnosis, which shortens the time until treatment begins.

How safe are dental X-rays

Dental and maxillofacial radiation presents minimal risks. People are exposed daily to much higher radiation from natural, atmospheric and terrestrial sources, or from artificial sources.

For pregnant women and children, the doctor decides on a case-by-case basis whether the investigation is necessary and what type of X-ray to use.

At the Chiromax imaging centre, at 82 Domnească Street, Monday to Friday between 08:00 and 20:00. Panoramic, retroalveolar, bite-wing, teleradiographs and 3D tomographies are performed, both for clinic patients and for patients referred by other dentists.

What is the difference between a panoramic X-ray and a 3D scan?

A panoramic X-ray is a flat image showing all the teeth and both jaws in a single exposure. 3D tomography reconstructs the bone volume and is used when the doctor needs to see the thickness of the bone, the position of the nerve or the relationship with the sinus, usually before an implant.

What is an orthopantomogram?
