Our office utilizes newest digital X-ray equipment and intraoral
cameras to take detailed images of your teeth and gums. With
our technology, the X-rays and pictures are sent immediately
to a computer and can be viewed on a flat screen TV above
you chair. The digital imaging software allows our doctor to see
a number of different views of the tooth to determine the best
course of treatment. Furthermore, all of the images and X-rays
can be enhanced and enlarged making it easier for us to show
you all of the problem areas. With our technology, you have
an opportunity to see exactly what our doctor see.
Digital X-ray and image technology allows us to detect
especially small areas of decay between teeth and identify
decay occurring beneath existing fillings, bridges, and crowns.
Furthermore, the technology reveals abscesses (an infection
at the root of a tooth or between the gum and a tooth) and
bone loss that accompanies gum disease or infection. Finally,
the technology is used to screen for cysts, some types of
tumors, and other developmental abnormalities.
There are several types of intraoral X-rays, each of which
shows different aspects of teeth.
- Bite-wing X-rays show details of the upper and lower
teeth in one area of the mouth. Each bite-wing shows a
tooth from its crown to about the level of the supporting
bone. Bite-wing X-rays are used to detect decay
between teeth and changes in bone density caused by
gum disease. They are also useful in determining the
proper fit of a crown and the marginal integrity of fillings.
- Periapical X-rays show the whole tooth -- from the crown
to beyond the end of the root to where the tooth is
anchored in the jaw. Periapical X-rays are used to detect
any abnormalities of the root structure and surrounding
bone structure.
- Occlusal X-rays are larger and show full tooth
development and placement. Each X-ray reveals the
entire arch of teeth in either the upper or lower jaw.
