At the practice of Dr. John Carson, we utilize advanced dental X-rays to provide comprehensive diagnostic care for our patients. Dental X-rays are a crucial part of preventive care, helping us detect issues that are not visible during a regular dental exam.
What Are Dental X-Rays?
Dental X-rays, also known as radiographs, are images of your teeth that we use to evaluate your oral health. These X-rays use low levels of radiation to capture images of the interior of your teeth and gums. This helps us identify problems such as cavities, tooth decay, and impacted teeth.
Why Are Dental X-Rays Important?
Early Detection of Dental Issues
Dental X-rays allow us to detect issues at their earliest stages. This includes cavities, bone loss, and infections. Early detection means we can treat problems before they become more severe, saving you time, discomfort, and money.
Comprehensive View of Your Oral Health
X-rays provide a detailed view of your teeth and gums, allowing us to see areas that are not visible to the naked eye. This comprehensive view helps us plan effective treatments and monitor your oral health over time.
Personalized Treatment Plans
With the detailed information from dental X-rays, we can create personalized treatment plans tailored to your specific needs. Whether it's planning for dental implants or orthodontic treatment, X-rays play a key role in ensuring successful outcomes.
Types of Dental X-Rays We Use
Bitewing X-Rays
Bitewing X-rays are used to detect decay between teeth and changes in bone density caused by gum disease. They provide a clear image of the upper and lower back teeth in a single view
Periapical X-Rays
Periapical X-rays focus on one or two complete teeth from the root to the crown. These are useful for identifying issues below the gum line or in the jawbone, such as abscesses, cysts, or tumors.
Panoramic X-Rays
Panoramic X-rays capture the entire mouth in one image, including the upper and lower jaws, teeth, and surrounding structures. This type of X-ray is particularly useful for planning treatments like orthodontics or implants.
Digital X-Rays
We use digital X-rays, which offer several advantages over traditional film X-rays. They use significantly less radiation, provide instant images, and allow for easy storage and sharing of your dental records.
