Whether you are seeing us for a routine dental exam, or if you have pain in a tooth, we will conduct a detailed diagnosis to begin. To ensure results with precision, we will employ advanced digital imaging technology. In today’s blog, your Prairie Village, KS, dentist talks about helping your smile with digital x-rays!
When to See Our Team
When should you see our team for treatment? We want patients of all ages to see our team every six months for a checkup and cleaning, so we can monitor the smile and catch possible problems in their earliest stages so we can provide care before they experience symptoms or risk losing a tooth! You should also see our team if you notice any changes to your smile, or if you experience discomfort, such as sore and bleeding gums, or a tooth that aches. Discomfort in your smile could be a sign of trouble, and we can provide treatment to stop pain and keep your smile intact! The process starts with a thorough diagnosis using digital x-ray technology.
Digital X-Ray Diagnosis
Digital x-rays allow us to obtain detailed and panoramic pictures of your entire smile, all without the need for uncomfortable bite wings., The process takes seconds, and we don’t need to develop these images in harsh chemicals, as they are instantly available chairside on a special monitor, so you spend less time in the chair. The process is more comfortable and uses 90% less radiation too! We can then make a diagnosis with better precision and accuracy, and walk you through the process so you know what is happening with your smile. We can then create a treatment plan to provide relief, and if you need to see a specialist, we can easily transmit these images to them!
What Happens Next?
Following your dental exam, we will create a treatment plan to address the concern or concerns we discover, so we can return your smile to full function, health, and beauty. This could involve the use of custom oral appliances to ease TMJ disorder or bruxism (teeth grinding), or even custom restorations, such as lifelike fillings and crowns, to repair teeth. We can take on tooth loss with custom bridges, full and partial dentures, and even dental implants.
If you have any questions about how we start your treatment journey with an exam using digital x-rays, or if you need to schedule a visit with our team today, then reach out to our office today to learn more!
