Dental X-Ray

Welcome to Our Dental X-Ray Department

Dental X-rays, also known as radiographs, are indispensable tools in modern dentistry, playing a crucial role in diagnosis, treatment planning, and preventive care. At our clinic, we recognize the importance of dental X-rays in ensuring comprehensive oral health care for our patients.

Why Dental X-Rays are Essential:

X-rays are not only diagnostic but also preventive, allowing dentists to detect potential oral issues before they escalate into major problems. By capturing images of the teeth, bones, and supporting tissues of the mouth, X-rays provide valuable insights into various aspects of oral health, including:

  • Cavity Detection: X-rays help identify cavities in their early stages, enabling prompt intervention to prevent further decay.
  • Tooth Root Examination: Detailed images of tooth roots aid in diagnosing conditions such as infections, abscesses, and root resorption.
  • Assessment of Bone Health: X-rays reveal the health of the bone surrounding the teeth, essential for detecting periodontal disease and evaluating bone density.
  • Evaluation of Developing Teeth: X-rays allow dentists to monitor the development of emerging teeth and identify any abnormalities or impactions.
  • Preventive Monitoring: Regular X-rays facilitate proactive monitoring of oral health, promoting preventive measures to maintain optimal tooth and gum health.

Types of Dental X-Rays Offered:

  • Orthopantomogram (OPG): Provides a panoramic view of the entire mouth, including the teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures.
  • Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT): Offers three-dimensional images for precise diagnosis and treatment planning, particularly for complex dental procedures.
  • Cephalogram: Captures side-view images of the head and jaws, aiding in orthodontic treatment planning and assessment.
  • Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Views: Focuses on the temporomandibular joint to evaluate conditions such as TMJ disorders.
  • Intra-Oral Peripheral View: Close-up images of specific areas within the mouth for detailed examination.
  • Occlusal View: Highlights the bite and alignment of the teeth, useful for detecting bite abnormalities and assessing dental restorations.
  • Parallel X-Ray: Ensures consistent and accurate imaging by positioning the X-ray tube and film parallel to each other.
  • Antero-Posterior & Lateral View: Provides front and side views of the skull and facial structures for comprehensive evaluation.
  • Radiovisuograph (RVG): Utilizes digital imaging technology for efficient and precise X-ray capture, minimizing radiation exposure.
