Dental X-Ray Treatment at Dental 360 Clinic
At Dental 360 Clinic, we use advanced dental X-ray technology as an essential part of our diagnostic and treatment process. Dental X-rays are safe, non-invasive, and provide critical insights into the health of your teeth, gums, and underlying structures that cannot be seen during a regular visual exam. By offering comprehensive dental X-ray services, we ensure that our patients receive accurate diagnoses and effective treatment plans.
What Is a Dental X-Ray?
A dental X-ray is an imaging technique that allows dentists to view detailed pictures of your teeth, gums, bones, and other structures within your mouth. X-rays use a small amount of radiation to capture images of areas that are hidden beneath the surface of your teeth and gums. This provides a clearer picture of your oral health and allows us to identify potential issues that may not be visible during a physical examination.
The Dental X-Ray Process
Dental X-rays are a quick and straightforward process that usually takes only a few minutes. Here’s what you can expect during your X-ray treatment at Dental 360 Clinic:
-
Preparation: You will be asked to remove any jewelry or metal objects that may interfere with the X-ray images. A lead apron may be placed over your body to protect you from unnecessary radiation.
-
Positioning: You will be guided to sit or stand in a comfortable position. The dental technician will place a small X-ray sensor or film in your mouth, depending on the type of X-ray being taken.
-
Taking the X-Ray: You will be asked to bite down on the sensor or film, and the X-ray machine will be positioned around your head. The technician will step behind a protective barrier to activate the machine. The process typically lasts only a few seconds.
-
Reviewing the Images: Once the X-rays are taken, the images will be reviewed by the dentist. They will discuss any findings with you and recommend appropriate treatments if needed.
