Dental X-Ray

Dental X-rays

Dental X-Rays are specialized imaging techniques that capture detailed images of your teeth, gums, and jaw to diagnose oral health issues that may not be visible during a regular dental exam. These X-Rays are essential for preventive care, treatment planning, and monitoring the progress of dental procedures.

Types of Dental X-Rays

  1. Bitewing X-Rays: Focus on detecting cavities and checking bone levels.
  2. Periapical X-Rays: Provide a complete view of individual teeth, including roots and surrounding bone.
  3. Panoramic X-Rays (Digital OPG): Offer a comprehensive image of the entire mouth, including teeth, jaw, and sinuses.
  4. Cephalometric X-Rays: Used for orthodontic treatment planning and assessing jaw alignment.

Applications of Dental X-Rays

  • Identifying tooth decay and cavities.
  • Detecting infections, abscesses, or cysts.
  • Assessing the position of wisdom teeth and planning extractions.
  • Evaluating jawbone structure and detecting bone loss.
  • Guiding dental implants and orthodontic treatments.
