Digital X-rays in Norcross, GA

MINT dentistry in Norcross, GA is a modern facility equipped with the finest dental technology in the industry. MINT performs digital x-rays, also known as digital radiographs, as part of every dental exam to obtain a clear, concise view of your mouth. Digital x-rays help our staff of board-certified doctors to diagnose problems that are below the visible surface so they can better see the whole picture of the health of your teeth and jaw. Quite a few dental and oral conditions can be discovered using digital x-rays, including cavities (tooth decay), cysts, abscesses, bone loss, and tooth impaction. If a concern is found early, you tend to have more options for treatment that are less invasive and more effective. During your annual examination, digital x-rays help our team to identify and treat oral health issues.

In order to assess your oral health, it is common that digital x-rays are taken at your annual dental exam. You may also need digital x-rays taken when you're in pain or dental issues of any kind to help our team correctly diagnose and address the underlying condition. Digital x-rays use less radiation than traditional x-rays, but MINT dentistry still prefers to limit the amount of exposure that is delivered to every patient. Though digital x-rays are considered safe for any patient, female patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding should inform a member of the MINT dentistry team at the beginning of their appointment so that extra precautions can be taken.

You’ll be seated in a comfortable exam chair before we begin examining your teeth. After choosing whether to watch a show or listen to music on a pair of Beats headphones, our team will begin your digital x-rays. Commonly done at the start of your dental visit, x-rays at our Norcross, GA practice usually take a few minutes to take. For most visits, your x-rays will include views of your teeth. Once the images are taken, they can be uploaded immediately so you and your MINT dentist can analyze the images during your appointment. If there are any problems, we will point out the issue and explain your possible treatment options.

Digital x-rays of your teeth are generally needed once or twice a year during your visits. Occasionally, MINT dentistry suggests a whole mouth x-ray to get a comprehensive view of not just your teeth but also your jaw. All of your x-rays will be kept in your file at MINT dentistry so our dental professionals can observe subtle changes and chart any issues. In most cases, there isn't aftercare required following x-rays unless otherwise recommended by the MINT dentistry team. Another appointment may be scheduled if treatment is required. Our team always encourages daily home care, as well as attending your twice-yearly cleanings and dental exams at our practice in Norcross, GA to keep your smile beautiful.

Digital x-rays taken as part of your routine dental plan should be covered with your insurance. We will speak to your insurance provider to figure out if you have any remaining costs. If you don't have dental insurance, MINT dentistry takes many different payment methods, including low-interest medical financing. MINT dentistry is committed to making sure that you receive a thorough oral health exam every year at our office. Our use of advanced technology, like digital x-rays, helps MINT dentistry to properly care for you and your family.
