“You can only treat well what you know well. And for that, diagnosis is essential.”
Dr. Rafael Dias
Oral Radiology
Diagnosis is the first step towards safe, effective and personalised dental treatment.
Oral Radiology and digital Imaging plays a central role in assessing dental, bone and gum structure
Oral Radiology at GSC Dental Clinic
Oral Radiology and digital Imaging enable more informed clinical decisions and more predictable results.
We have state-of-the-art equipment, which includes:
- intraoral sensors for localised radiographs of jaw sections
- orthopantomography (panoramic radiography),
- teleradiography,
- CBCT (cone beam 3D computed tomography)
- radiography of the temporomandibular joints (TMJs)
- 2D and 3D and intraoral scanner
All with very low radiation levels and high precision.
These tools help us identify lesions, assess the position of wisdom teeth, plan implants, orthodontics, endodontics and many other treatments with total safety.
The imaging analysis is performed directly at the appointment, with high-definition images interpreted by our clinical team.
With advanced technology, we transform diagnosis into a fast, comfortable and highly reliable experience, the ideal starting point for caring for your oral health.
How the exam works
Initial assessment
Identification of clinical needs that require imaging exams.
Choosing the right exam
Intraoral radiography, Orthopantomography, teleradiography, radiography of the temporomandibular joints, CBCT or intraoral scanner, depending on the case.
Performing the exam
Images obtained in minutes, with low radiation exposure and total comfort.
Immediate clinical interpretation
Joint analysis with the patient, with explanation of results using visual support.
Integration into the treatment plan
The data obtained guides safe and personalised decisions.
Our dental medical team
The Gambelas Smile Clinic team includes dentists with experience in imaging diagnosis and digital planning, to ensure that every clinical decision is supported by concrete data.
We believe that patient confidence begins when they understand their diagnosis with clarity and tranquillity.
That is why all exams are explained carefully, using visual support technology and accessible language.

Clinical indications for the use of Oral Radiology / Imaging
Tooth or gum pain with no apparent cause
It can be associated with hidden infections, inflammation, bone changes or lesions not visible on clinical exam.
Impacted or stuck teeth
They can cause pain, infections, resorption of neighbouring teeth, cysts or changes in dental alignment.
Bone or joint alterations (TMJ)
They can affect chewing function, cause pain, limit movements and compromise dental treatments.
Periapical lesions or cysts
They can indicate chronic infection, cause localised bone loss and require detailed imaging diagnosis.
Planning implants or orthodontics
Allows assessment of bone, roots and anatomical structures for greater predictability and safety in treatment.
Assessment of fractures, trauma or bone infections
Helps identify dental, root or bone fractures that can cause pain, infection or loss of function.
Monitoring of complex dental treatments
Allows monitoring of healing, bone integration, treatment response and stability of results.
Treatment of bone infections
They can cause pain, tissue destruction, oedema and risk of spreading to adjacent areas.
