Queensbay Dental Surgery

Digital radiography

Dental x-rays work by creating an image of the denser parts of your body, such as teeth and bone, revealing dental problems that may not be apparent to the naked eye. At Queensbay Dental Centre, we use this technology to detect and treat various disorders, such as cavities, infections, impacted teeth and decay, in their early stages.We use several types of x-rays in diagnosing dental problems, including:

• Bitewing x-rays- check for decay between teeth
• Periapical X-rays: to detect problems at the end of the tooth root
• Digital Panoramic X-rays: give a full range view of the oral structures

And we offer in-office digital panoramic x-ray for your convenience. The digital panoramic x-ray system allows our dentists to take a picture of a patient's teeth and immediately view the images on a computer monitor with up to 90% less radiation. The digital imaging software allows our doctors to see a number of different views of your teeth and to gain a better understanding of the proper course of management. The digital images can then be magnified, rotated, focused, colorized, measured, and drawn, aiding in the diagnosis.
