Dental X-rays are common in oral diagnoses, allowing Dr. Polk to see the state of your teeth above and below the gumline. X-ray technology has evolved to the point that it is faster, more efficient and much more comfortable than before. The X-ray images are taken through a digital scanner, which takes only a few moments before appearing on screen. This technology is also much safer, offering significantly less radiation than traditional film X-rays, which require certain chemicals to develop. The high-quality images will help our dentist plan for a variety of treatments based on what he may find. The images can help in planning root canal treatment, oral surgery, orthodontic services and more. Dr. Polk will go over the best service possible for your care in order to create a customized treatment plan, which you can discuss during your exam or consultation. If you have any questions about digital X-rays, please give us a call today!
