Imaging services at Heerya
Digital Dental X-Rays
Intraoral digital X-rays capture detailed images of individual teeth, roots, and surrounding bone. Used to detect cavities, assess root canal extent, check implant position, and monitor bone levels. Produces 70–80% less radiation than traditional film X-rays.
OPG Scan (Orthopantomogram)
A panoramic X-ray that captures all teeth, both jaws, sinuses, and jaw joints in a single image. Essential for orthodontic planning, wisdom tooth assessment, implant pre-planning, and full-mouth diagnosis.
CBCT Scan
Cone beam CT imaging provides 3D views of teeth, bone, and anatomy for cases requiring surgical planning, implant placement, or complex root canal assessment. Recommended only when standard X-rays are insufficient.
When is dental imaging needed?
Dr. Thukaram takes X-rays when they are clinically necessary, not as a routine charge on every visit. X-rays are needed before root canal treatment to assess root anatomy, before implant placement to measure bone volume, for orthodontic planning to see all unerupted teeth, to diagnose cavities between teeth that are not visible clinically, and to assess wisdom tooth position before removal.

Frequently asked questions
All FAQsAre dental X-rays safe?
Yes. Digital dental X-rays use very low levels of radiation, significantly less than conventional X-rays. The exposure from a full set of dental X-rays is less than the background radiation you receive in a single day.
How long does an OPG scan take?
The OPG scan itself takes about 20 seconds. The full process including preparation and review takes about 10 to 15 minutes.
Do I need to do anything before getting dental X-rays?
No special preparation is needed. Remove any jewellery near your face and let us know if you are pregnant so we can take appropriate precautions.
Can I get a copy of my X-rays?
Yes. Digital X-ray images can be shared with you on request via email or a USB drive. You own your dental records.
