When you need dental care, our team wants to examine and diagnose the issue with accuracy and precision. Instead of using a traditional x-rays system, we opt for a more precise digital alternative. In today’s blog, your Prairie Village, KS, dentist talks about how we conduct a diagnosis with digital x-rays and help you enjoy better oral health as a result. Let’s close the book on 2024 with a strong and healthy smile!
The Digital X-Ray System
With this system, you don’t need to bite down in uncomfortable bitewings, instead you will simply place your chin on a special rest while a machine encircles your head to gather detailed, high-definition, and panoramic images of your smile, including your roots, teeth, jaw, and oral structures. The system uses 90% less radiation and the images are then transmitted to a chairside monitor right away, no lengthy waiting time for development in harsh chemicals. Patients spend less time in the chair! The process is more comfortable and our team provides better comfort during the evaluation process. We can help you better understand the state of your smile and what treatment will be necessary to return your smile to optimal health, function, and beauty.
Diagnosis and Treatment Planning
The diagnosis can allow us to discern the extent or your oral health concerns, and allows us to plan treatment in detail. We can assess the extent of a cavity or infection to plan filling placement or root canal therapy. Our team can plan periodontal treatment and assess any damage to underlying oral structures. If you have missing teeth, we can plan dental implant placement with detail and also oversee the removal of wisdom teeth to keep your smile intact. Whether you need a minor same-day treatment or oral surgery, this technology makes sure we can plan the process in detail to offer optimal results and a positive treatment experience.
If you have any questions about how we use digital x-rays to diagnose your smile and plan treatment, or if you would like to schedule a checkup before the holiday season gets too hectic, then reach out to our team today. Now is a great time for a visit, as you can use your remaining 2024 dental insurance benefits and health savings account funds before they expire at the end of the year.
