Advanced Diagnostic Tools For Better Care
Digital X-Rays
Digital x-rays are an essential part of your dental care, offering numerous advantages over traditional methods:
- Reduced radiation exposure: Digital x-rays use up to 90% less radiation than conventional film x-rays, making them a safer option for you and your family.
- Instant results: The images are available immediately, allowing our dentists to diagnose and discuss treatment options with you during your visit.
- Enhanced image quality: The high-resolution images can be enlarged and enhanced, enabling more accurate diagnoses of dental issues like cavities, infections, and bone loss.
- Environmentally friendly: Unlike traditional x-rays, digital x-rays don’t require chemical processing, making them a more eco-friendly option.
- Secure record keeping: Your x-rays are stored digitally, allowing for easy access, sharing with specialists if needed, and long-term storage without the risk of damage.
Panoramic X-Rays
Panoramic x-rays provide a comprehensive view of your oral structures, offering unique insights into your dental health:
- Full arch imaging: Unlike standard bitewing x-rays, panoramic x-rays capture the entire upper and lower jaws in a single image, including all teeth and surrounding bone structures.
- Orthodontic assessment: These x-rays help in evaluating the alignment of your teeth and planning orthodontic treatments like braces or clear aligners.
- Detection of hidden issues: Panoramic x-rays can reveal impacted teeth, jaw abnormalities, cysts, tumors, and other conditions that might not be visible with regular x-rays.
- TMJ evaluation: The technology allows for a detailed examination of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), helping to diagnose disorders that could be causing jaw discomfort or headaches.
- Efficient and comfortable: The procedure is quick and comfortable, with the machine rotating around your head to capture the image without the need for bitewing tabs.
Intraoral Cameras
Intraoral cameras offer a close-up view of your teeth and gums, enhancing both diagnosis and patient understanding:
- Detailed visualization: The small, pen-shaped camera can access hard-to-reach areas of your mouth, capturing high-quality images that reveal issues like decay, gum disease, and tooth damage.
- Patient education: The images can be displayed on a monitor, allowing you to see exactly what our dentists see and better understand your oral health and the recommended treatments.
- Documentation and communication: Intraoral camera images can be saved as part of your dental records, shared with specialists, or sent to insurance companies to support treatment claims.
- Follow-up and monitoring: These images help track the progress of treatments, ensuring that any procedures are healing properly and that no new issues have arisen.
- Comfortable and non-invasive: The use of the intraoral camera is entirely painless and can be done quickly during your regular dental visit.
