Whether you are seeing us for a routine dental exam or due to discomfort in your teeth or gums, we will examine your smile with the latest technology. Our digital imaging system provides more accurate results than traditional x-rays, so we can offer better care. In today’s blog, your Prairie Village, KS, dentist talks about our digital imaging systems!
When to See Our Team for Care
When should you make an appointment with our team? We suggest a routine checkup and cleaning visit for kids and adults alike, as this can allow us to monitor smiles and catch possible problems in their earliest stages, treating them before patients develop discomfort or risk tooth loss. But you should also see us when you notice any discomfort or changes in your smile. For example, a toothache could mean decay or possibly infection. Sore and bleeding gums could indicate gingivitis or even gum disease. To identify the source of your discomfort and provide the right relief, we will examine your smile with digital x-rays!
Digital X-Rays
We want to look closely at your teeth, including the interior. We also want to examine your gums, connective tissues, jawbone, and oral structures as well. To obtain a clear and detailed view of your smile, we will gather x-rays. Instead of the traditional system, we have a digital option that uses 90% less radiation, and also doesn’t involve the use of bitewings. The images will be gathered quickly and comfortably, and will be available instantly on a chairside monitor. The resulting images will be high-definition and clear, so we can make a diagnosis with precision and accuracy. We can also easily transmit them to specialists as needed. As we walk you through the diagnosis, you can obtain a better understanding of the state of your smile and the treatments we may recommend to help improve your oral health.
What Happens Next?
Next, we will discuss the treatments you may need to address the concerns we discover. Our team will explain them in detail and help plan the procedure in a follow-up visit. In some cases, solutions like fillings only take one visit, but we can also offer lifelike crowns, and even replacement teeth in the form of bridges or dental implants. Our team can offer restoration that blend with your smile, handle daily bite forces with ease, and lasts for years to come. If you have any questions, then contact our team today!
