At Bakery Hill Dental, we use dental X-rays as an essential tool for providing comprehensive care. Dental X-rays are important for diagnosing and treating various dental issues that may not be visible during a regular check-up.
Dental X-rays are a type of imaging that allows us to see detailed pictures of your teeth, gums, and the surrounding bone structure. By using X-rays, our team can detect problems like cavities, infections, and bone loss that might not be apparent through visual examination alone. This helps us identify issues early and plan the best course of action for your treatment.
There are several types of dental X-rays. Bitewing X-rays show the upper and lower teeth in one area, which helps us detect decay between teeth. Periapical X-rays capture the entire tooth, from the crown to the root, and are useful for diagnosing issues with the root or surrounding bone. Panoramic X-rays provide a broad view of the entire mouth, including the teeth, jawbone, and sinuses, which is helpful for planning complex treatments.
At Bakery Hill Dental, we use the latest technology to ensure that X-rays are quick, accurate, and safe. Our digital X-ray systems reduce radiation exposure compared to traditional methods, making the process even safer for you. We use these detailed images to create personalized treatment plans that address your specific needs.
If you have any concerns or need a thorough evaluation, dental X-rays can provide the information needed to keep your oral health in check. Contact Bakery Hill Dental today to learn more about how we use dental X-rays to enhance your care and ensure a healthy smile.
