A Clearer Picture of Your Health: Advanced Digital X-Rays
To provide the most comprehensive dental care, we need to see the full picture of your oral health, including what’s hidden beneath the surface of your gums and enamel. At Veda Family Dentistry, we use state-of-the-art digital dental X-rays, a modern diagnostic tool that is faster, safer, and more accurate than traditional film X-rays. Our investment in this technology is a direct reflection of our commitment to delivering the highest standard of care to you.
Why Dental X-Rays are an Essential Diagnostic Tool
Many serious dental problems, such as decay, infection, and bone loss, begin in areas that are not visible during a standard visual exam. Dental X-rays are a crucial part of preventive care, allowing our dentists to detect and diagnose issues at their earliest stages.
Digital imaging allows us to see:
Decay between the teeth and below existing fillings.
Infections or abscesses at the root of a tooth.
Bone loss is associated with advanced gum disease.
The position of unerupted or impacted teeth, such as wisdom teeth.
The health of the jawbone and the fit of restorations.
The Advantages of Modern Digital X-Rays
Our digital radiography systems offer significant benefits for your health, comfort, and understanding.
Up to 90% Less Radiation: Your safety is our top priority. Digital sensors are far more sensitive than traditional X-ray film, requiring significantly less radiation to capture a high-quality image.
Instant, High-Quality Images: The digital images appear on our computer screen within seconds. There is no waiting for the film to develop, which makes your appointment more efficient.
Enhanced Diagnostic Tools: We can instantly magnify, contrast, and colorize the high-resolution images. This allows Dr. Priya and Dr. Moosavi to see even the smallest areas of concern with incredible clarity.
A Tool for Patient Education: We can display your X-rays on a large screen, highlighting precisely what we see. This co-diagnostic approach helps you better understand your oral health and treatment recommendations.
Environmentally Friendly: Digital X-rays eliminate the need for the harsh chemicals used in traditional film development, making them a greener choice.
Our Comprehensive Imaging Capabilities
We utilize different types of digital X-rays to get the precise view needed for your specific situation.
Bitewing X-Rays: These are taken during routine check-ups to check for cavities between the back teeth.
Periapical X-Rays: These images show the entire tooth, from the chewing surface to the tip of the root, and are used to diagnose issues such as an abscess.
Panoramic X-Rays: This gives us a broad overview of your entire mouth, including all teeth, both jaws, and your TMJ, in a single image.
3D CBCT Imaging: For complex procedures such as dental implant placement, our Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scanner provides a detailed 3D map of your teeth and jawbone for precise surgical planning.
Our Commitment to Your Safety and Diagnostic Excellence
A Focus on Patient Safety: Our investment in digital radiography is driven by our commitment to minimizing your exposure to radiation while providing the best possible care.
Accurate, Early Diagnosis: The clarity and detail of our digital images allow Dr. Priya and Dr. Moosavi to diagnose problems earlier and more accurately, which often leads to more conservative and less invasive treatment.
A Transparent, Educational Approach: We believe in involving you in your own healthcare. By sharing and explaining your X-ray images with you, we ensure you are a fully informed partner in your treatment decisions.
A Modern Standard of Care: We are dedicated to maintaining a state-of-the-art practice. Utilizing the latest in diagnostic technology is a key part of how we deliver a superior level of dental care to our community.
