X-RAYS

DIGITAL X-RAYS

Digital radiography is revolutionizing dental care with cutting-edge imaging technology that’s fast, precise, and comfortable for patients. By using digital sensors instead of traditional film, it produces clear, high-resolution images of teeth, bones, and soft tissues in no time.

With digital X-rays, dentists can quickly detect cavities, monitor bone health, and spot dental issues with unmatched accuracy. At North Texas Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, we’re proud to use this advanced technology to provide accurate diagnoses and personalized treatment plans, giving you the best care possible.

HOW DOES DIGITAL X-RAY HELP?

Digital X-rays are an essential diagnostic tool for identifying risk factors related to oral health. Common issues include:

  • Cavities: Early-stage caries between teeth or beneath restorations are often invisible during routine exams
  • Bone Loss: Bone loss is a serious issue and a potential sign of periodontal disease that requires timely intervention
  • Impacted Teeth: Wisdom teeth or other misaligned teeth that may cause complications
  • Jaw Abnormalities: Structural issues that can affect overall oral health

 

By addressing these risks early, digital radiography helps prevent minor issues from becoming primary concerns.

Many patients are surprised at the large amount of surface area that we examine during an oral exam. At every hygiene visit, we examine all the tissues of your mouth, including gums, cheeks, lips, tongue, and jaw.

It is just as important to have regular soft tissue screenings as it is to have a professional dental cleaning.
Oral cancer can afflict anyone, although tobacco users put themselves at a significantly higher risk than non-users. Chewing tobacco has up to 3000 different chemicals, including the same compounds used in pesticides and embalming fluid.

Cellular changes below the surface aren’t always detectable until they’ve advanced to a critical stage.Early detection and treatment of oral cancer can significantly increase your chances of a quick and complete recovery. The American Cancer Society reports that about 7,000 deaths result from oral cancer out of 30,000 cases diagnosed annually.

Oral cancer often develops silently, presenting no apparent symptoms in its early stages. Our dentists at North Texas Family and Cosmetic Dentistry utilize oral cancer awareness tactics so that even regular screenings allow abnormalities to be detected early, improving treatment outcomes and significantly reducing risks.
