Advanced Dental Imaging
Advanced dental imaging, also known as digital radiographs, are an important part of dental care. Dental images allow dentists to evaluate the health of the teeth beneath the gumline, detect cavities between the teeth, assess the condition of the roots, and monitor the bone structure supporting the teeth. These images help identify dental issues in their early stages, enabling prompt intervention. With the advancement of digital radiography, dental images are now faster, safer, and more efficient, using minimal radiation exposure. Routine dental images are an essential diagnostic tool that enhances the accuracy of diagnoses and treatment planning.
