Intra oral cameras are small digital cameras that allow us to be able to educate our patients on the condition/health of their teeth and gums. Using the photos we are able to co-diagnose with the patient and come up with a treatment plan that works to achieve optimal oral health.
DIGITAL X-RAYS
At Rolling Hills Dental Clinic, PC, we believe every smile is unique. That’s why we offer a variety of advanced cosmetic treatments tailored to meet your needs and create the smile of your dreams.
Digital x-rays have two advantages over film x-rays:
1. They greatly reduce radiation exposure to the patient
2. They provide an immediate image to view
A panoramic x-ray machine produces a view of the entire upper and lower jaws and surrounding structures, such as sinuses and TMJ joints. This technology produces an image that helps with diagnosing jaw tumors/cysts, as well as impacted teeth. It also shows us all the roots of existing teeth and oftentimes, chronic (non-painful infections) are found. This x-ray is taken on all new patients at their initial patient exam unless one can be obtained that is less than three years old from a previous dentist.
