Dental Imaging in Stockholm – Safe Digital X-rays & Panoramic OPG at Gloss & Floss
Are you looking for dental imaging in Stockholm? At Gloss & Floss Dental Care, we provide safe, low-dose digital X-rays and panoramic imaging (OPG) to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning. Our English-speaking dentists welcome both locals and international patients to our modern, SPA-inspired clinic in Södermalm.
Why Dental Imaging Is Important
Dental imaging is a key part of both preventive and restorative care. With high-resolution digital X-rays and panoramic scans, we can:
- Detect cavities and tooth decay at an early stage.
- Identify bone loss, hidden infections, or jaw problems.
- Assess teeth before extractions, including root canal treatments.
- Plan orthodontic treatments such as Invisalign and braces.
- Prepare for dental implants, crowns & bridges, or bite rehabilitation.
Before any imaging, we recommend a complete oral examination to evaluate your needs and create a tailored treatment plan.
Our Dental Imaging Services
Digital X-rays
Digital intraoral X-rays give detailed images of individual teeth and surrounding bone. They are fast, comfortable, and use up to 90% less radiation than traditional film X-rays. They help us detect cavities, monitor gum health, and guide treatments like root canal therapy or crowns and bridges.
Panoramic X-rays (OPG)
A panoramic X-ray (orthopantomogram, OPG) captures your entire jaw, teeth, and surrounding structures in one image. This type of dental imaging is particularly useful for:
- Evaluating the position of teeth that have not yet emerged fully.
- Planning orthodontic treatments such as braces or Invisalign.
- Preparing for dental implants and complex restorative treatments.
- Detecting hidden infections, cysts, or jawbone conditions early.
Note: Panoramic X-rays involve an additional cost. We will always inform you in advance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is dental imaging safe in Stockholm?
Yes. We use modern low-dose digital X-rays and panoramic OPG scans. All procedures follow Swedish Radiation Safety Authority standards to protect your health.
How often should I have dental X-rays?
The frequency depends on your dental health, age, and treatment needs. For most patients, X-rays are taken every 1–2 years, but some may need them more often if there are symptoms or ongoing treatments.
Do dental X-rays hurt?
No. Dental X-rays are completely painless. You may only feel the small sensor in your mouth for a few seconds while the image is taken.
Are dental X-rays safe for children and pregnant women?
Digital X-rays are safe for children and often important to monitor tooth development or detect cavities early. If you are pregnant, let us know—we use special protective measures and avoid unnecessary X-rays during pregnancy.
What is a panoramic X-ray (OPG)?
An OPG shows your entire mouth in one image, including teeth, jawbone, sinuses, and joints. It is commonly used before orthodontic treatment or dental implants.
Do I need an X-ray before every dental treatment?
No. Many treatments, such as tooth fillings or tartar removal, may not require X-rays. We only recommend them when necessary for accurate diagnosis and safe treatment.
Can dental imaging help with gum problems or tooth pain?
Yes. X-rays allow us to see hidden infections, abscesses, or gum disease that may not be visible during a standard exam. This helps us provide the right treatment quickly.
How much does dental imaging cost in Stockholm?
The cost depends on the type of X-ray. Digital intraoral X-rays are usually included in consultations, while panoramic OPG scans have an additional fee. We always provide clear price information in advance.
