Dental Imaging at GloSmile
See More. Plan Better.
Good dental treatment begins with understanding what is actually happening beneath the surface. Teeth, roots, jawbone and impacted teeth cannot always be assessed completely through a visual examination alone.
At GloSmile, Digital OPG and Cone Beam Computed Tomography or CBCT are available within the clinic when clinically required. This allows our dental team to obtain broader or more detailed imaging as part of diagnosis and treatment planning without automatically sending patients to another imaging centre.
For families and individuals living around Lake City, Bahria Town Lahore, Raiwind Road, Adda Plot, DHA Rahbar, Valencia Town and nearby communities, having advanced dental imaging locally can also save valuable travel time.

Less Travel
More Convenient Planning
“From consultation to imaging and treatment planning, GloSmile helps make your dental journey more connected and convenient.”
Patients are often referred to another part of the city when their dentist requires advanced imaging. That means another journey, another waiting period and often another visit before treatment planning can continue.
At GloSmile, Digital OPG and CBCT are available within the same Lake City facility where patients can also access general dentistry, restorative dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, dental implants, orthodontic care and kids dentistry.
Having the technology nearby does not mean every patient needs an advanced scan. Dental imaging should always be selected according to the individual clinical situation. Sometimes a smaller dental X ray may be sufficient. In other cases an OPG or CBCT can provide information that helps the dentist understand the problem more clearly.
Panoramic Dental Imaging
What Is a Digital OPG?
A Digital OPG, or Orthopantomogram, is a panoramic dental X ray that produces a broad two dimensional image of the teeth and jaws.
Instead of focusing on only one tooth, an OPG allows the dentist to look at a wider area in one image. It can be particularly useful when the overall position of teeth, wisdom teeth, developing teeth or jaw structures needs to be assessed.
Digital OPG May Be
Wisdom Teeth
See the general position and direction of impacted or developing wisdom teeth.
Orthodontic Assessment
Review overall tooth position as part of braces or aligner planning.
Impacted Teeth
Identify teeth that have not erupted normally.
Developing Teeth
Useful when assessing developing permanent teeth in appropriate patients.
Missing Teeth
Provide a broader overview of the dental arches.
General Dental Planning
Help the dentist understand the bigger picture before planning treatment.

3D Dental Imaging
What Is Dental CBCT?
CBCT stands for Cone Beam Computed Tomography.
Unlike a conventional two dimensional dental X ray, CBCT can provide three dimensional information about teeth, roots, jawbone and nearby anatomical structures.
The dentist can examine the area from different views which may be useful when greater detail is required for diagnosis or treatment planning.
CBCT is not intended for every routine dental patient. It is generally considered when the additional three dimensional information can help answer a specific clinical question.
CBCT May Be Considered For
Dental Implant Planning
Assess bone and surrounding anatomy before planning an implant.
Impacted Wisdom Teeth
Provide additional detail in selected complex cases.
Complex Root Canal Cases
Help investigate certain problems that are difficult to understand through conventional imaging alone.
Impacted Canines
Provide three dimensional information about the position of impacted teeth.
Selected Orthodontic Cases
Support assessment where detailed spatial information is clinically necessary.
Jaw & Bone Assessment
Provide additional information about dental and surrounding bony structures.
Understanding Your ScanDigital OPG or CBCT: What Is the Difference?
Both are useful dental imaging technologies but they serve different purposes.
Digital OPG
Digital OPG provides a broad
two dimensional panoramic view of the teeth and jaws.
It can be useful when the dentist wants to see overall tooth position,
wisdom teeth and broader dental structures.
Dental CBCT
Dental CBCT provides three dimensional information and may be recommended when the dentist needs a more detailed understanding of depth, position or surrounding anatomy.
The more advanced scan is not automatically the better scan.
The right test is the one that provides the information your dentist actually needs.

Closer to HomeAdvanced Dental Imaging Without Travelling Across Lahore
When advanced dental imaging is not available at the treating clinic, patients may need to travel to a separate centre, complete the scan and then return to their dentist for treatment planning.
For someone already dealing with tooth pain or a busy schedule, that additional journey matters.
GloSmile provides Digital OPG and CBCT from its Business Bay, Lake City location, making advanced dental imaging more convenient for patients from:
- Lake City Lahore
- Bahria Town Lahore
- Raiwind Road
- Adda Plot
- DHA Rahbar
- Valencia Town

Instead of automatically travelling toward another part of Lahore for an OPG or CBCT, patients on this side of the city can access advanced dental imaging much closer to home.
