Our skilled dentists and team use digital X-rays when examining your teeth and supporting structures. This innovative imaging technology allows us to view your mouth in detail so that we can easily detect problems and plan treatments. We invite you to call Pickwick Family Dental Care at 731-689-3627 to schedule your appointment with Dr. Don Walley or Dr. Glenda Walley and learn more about digital X-rays in Counce, Tennessee, and surrounding areas, including Savannah and Adamsville, Tennessee, and Corinth and Iuka, Mississippi.
Traditional radiography relies on film. However, digital X-rays use small digital sensors to capture images quickly and comfortably. The captured images can then be transmitted directly to a nearby monitor without the need to use toxic chemicals to develop the film. This makes your imaging process significantly quicker and safer. These high-quality images can then be used to identify problems and create detailed treatment plans to improve your oral health.
Some common problems digital X-rays may be used to diagnose include:
- Tooth decay, including decay between the teeth
- Developmental abnormalities
- Unusual tooth root positioning
- Cysts, abscesses and tumors
- Bone loss
- Infection in the tooth nerves
- Fractures in the teeth or in existing fillings
Digital X-rays are also useful in planning orthodontic treatment, root canal treatment, dental implant placement, oral surgery and more.
