A Complete View for Better Care
At Under the Sea Dentistry for Kids, we use advanced technology to give your child the most accurate, comfortable, and effective care possible. Dr. Pamela Butler uses the KaVo OP 2D panoramic X-ray system in Vancouver, Washington to capture a complete view of your child’s teeth, jaw, and developing structures in a single image.
This technology allows us to better understand your child’s growth and oral health while keeping every visit quick and stress-free.
What Is a Panoramic X-Ray?
A Full Picture of Growing Smiles
A panoramic X-ray is an imaging system that captures a wide, detailed view of your child’s entire mouth in one scan. Unlike traditional X-rays that focus on small areas, this technology provides a comprehensive look at the teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures.
The KaVo OP 2D system is designed for efficiency and comfort, using low radiation and completing the scan in just seconds.

Fast, Comfortable Imaging for Kids
Quick Scans with Minimal Disruption
The panoramic X-ray process is simple and quick. Your child remains still for just a few moments while the machine gently rotates around their head to capture the image.
With fast imaging times and a comfortable setup, the experience is easy and well-suited for children of all ages.
A Personalized, Kid-Focused Approach
Every Smile Deserves Special Care
No two children are the same, and neither are their smiles. Dr. Butler and our caring team take time to understand your child’s needs, explain each step in kid-friendly language, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and supported throughout their visit.
Our goal is always the same: a healthy smile and a positive dental experience your child can feel proud of!
