We usually request that new x-rays be taken at your first visit with us unless suitable x-rays have been taken at another dental office within the last few months and that your x-rays be updated as needed relative to your oral condition.
Digital dental x-rays allow us to:
- Check for cavities or signs of decay between teeth or beginning under the surface
- Reveal decay under old fillings
- Identify bone loss
- Diagnose abscess, cysts, tumors, or infections
- Expose problems with wisdom teeth
And because We believe in offering their patients the most accurate, convenient, and safe options possible – even when it comes to the x-rays we offer our Woodlands area patients – both our standard and our panoramic x-rays are digital. That means that:
- They can be immediately viewed in crisp, full-color detail
- Are stored directly to the computers in our exam rooms
- Expose you and your family to far less radiation than traditional x-rays
We think you are worth it!
