Our dentist and dental team are here to help you meet your specific dental care needs. With the advancement of modern dental technology, we can take detailed dental X-rays to help us gain a clear understanding of the goings-on in your mouth. Our goal with dental X-rays is to detect and diagnose dental problems early to provide the least invasive dental treatments.
Your dental checkup may include dental X-rays for purposes such as:
– Checking for signs of tooth decay between teeth
– Determining any instances of bone loss following periodontal disease
– Screening for tooth decay beneath dental fillings
– Detecting any developing infection around the tooth root tip near the jawbone
– Creating a full image of your mouth prior to performing dental care
The different types of dental X-rays include occlusal, periapical, and bite-wing X-rays. Occlusal X-rays reveal the entirety of the tooth development, making the upper and lower arches of the teeth visible. Periapical X-rays are an image of the entire tooth from its crown to root end area where it rests in the jaw. Bite-wing X-rays look at the visible portion of the tooth from bone level to the crown.
