Whether we’re seeing kids or adults, we always start the treatment process with a detailed examination, so we can conduct a diagnosis with precision. To ensure accuracy during the diagnostic process and when planning treatment, we employ digital imaging technology. In today’s blog, your Shirley, NY, pediatric dentist and orthodontist talks about the benefits of digital x-rays.
The Dental Examinations
We want to see your child for an exam every six months. During this visit, our dentist and hygienist will take a close look at the smile and then conduct a cleaning to remove harmful buildup. We can then offer treatment for any issues we uncover, helping kids enjoy good oral health. If kids, teens, or adults need orthodontic treatment, then our team could offer a dental examination to assess the state of the alignment and to plan treatment with precision and accuracy. Whether we are conducting an exam or planning treatment, we will aid in the process with advanced digital x-rays!
Digital X-Rays
The digital x-ray system uses 90% less radiation. We can take clear and detailed images of the bite, including panoramic images, in seconds. There is no need to use uncomfortable bitewings as part of the process, and the images will be available instantly chairside. No need to wait for them to develop in harsh chemicals, making this a safer and more convenient option. We can make a diagnosis with precision as these images are very detailed and high-definition, and we can walk you through the diagnostic process so you better understand the state of your smile. This is safe for kids and adults alike, and is crucial for planning treatment in detail, so we know what is necessary to improve oral health or correct misalignment.
What Happens Next?
With these images, we can make a diagnosis with precision and then plan treatment. We can decide if children need fillings, crowns, or a pulpotomy to stop discomfort and keep smiles intact. Our team can also provide care to dares poor alignment in kids and adults alike, choosing the best option based on the information gained from our examination. If you have any questions about how we diagnose and plan treatment with a digital x-ray system, or if you would like to schedule a visit with our team, then contact our office today to get started and learn more!
