When you see us for treatment, we will always start with a careful examination of your smile. To conduct a diagnosis and plan treatment with detail, we will use advanced digital technology. In today’s blog, your Prairie Village, KS, dentist talks about use of advanced digital x-rays.
When to See Our Team
When should you see our team for treatment? We urge our patients to make time for an appointment every six months, so that we can monitor your smile and then catch serious problems in the earliest stages. Otherwise, let us know when you notice changes to your smile. For example, toothaches could mean a cavity or infection, and bleeding gums could indicate gingivitis or gum disease. Jaw pain and headaches could mean issues like TMJ disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding). When you see us, we will start with a detailed dental examination using advanced digital x-rays!
Digital X-Rays
Unlike traditional dental x-rays, this system doesn’t require you to bite down on uncomfortable bitewings at all. Instead, you simply place your chin on a special rest and a machine will circle your head, gathering detailed and panoramic images of your jaw, roots, teeth, and more. The process only takes a few seconds, and the images are then available instantly chairside, so no need to wait for them to develop in harsh chemicals. Instead, we can immediately walk you through the diagnosis, saving you time. This system also uses 90% less radiation!
The images will be high-definition, so the diagnosis is more detailed and accurate. We can easily send them to specialists or other practices as needed, and the entire process is more convenient and comfortable for our patients. We’re proud to go digital with the diagnostic process!
Starting Treatment
Once we complete your images, we will diagnose the state of your smile and walk you through the process, so you gain a better understanding of your smile and the treatments that we may need to conduct to keep it healthy and whole. We will craft a treatment plan and discuss your options, and listen to your feedback as well. From there, we can help you enjoy better oral health and a smile that looks great too.
If you have any questions about seeing our team for treatment, or about how we conduct an accurate and precise diagnosis using digital x-ray systems, then contact our team today to learn more. We look forward to seeing you and helping you obtain a stronger, healthier, and brighter smile too.
