Discover the Different Types of Dental X-rays at Family Dentistry on Brock
Family Dentistry on Brock utilizes advanced dental technology to ensure your visit is as informative and comfortable as possible. Dental X-rays are among the most essential tools at our disposal, helping us diagnose and treat dental issues precisely.
1. Bitewing X-rays
These X-rays view the upper and lower back teeth in one shot. They are called "bitewings" because you bite down on a wing-shaped device that holds the film in place while the X-ray is taken.
2. Periapical X-rays
Periapical X-rays focus on two complete teeth from root to crown. These are valuable for identifying issues below the gum line or in the jaw structure.
3. Panoramic X-rays
Panoramic X-rays capture an entire picture of your mouth in a single image. They are taken with a machine that rotates around your head.
4. Occlusal X-rays
Occlusal X-rays are more extensive than most dental X-rays, showing full tooth development and placement in the upper or lower jaw.
Understanding these tools helps our patients appreciate the extent of care we provide. Family Dentistry on Brock is committed to using these advanced technologies to enhance your dental health effectively.
Your smile is our priority—let us keep it bright and healthy!
