Digital X-rays in Hamburg, PA

Dental x-rays, also known as digital dental radiographs, are done in conjunction with annual exams to provide a more accurate overall view of your mouth. X-rays can make it easier for our team at Theodore E Dando DMD Family & Cosmetic Dentistry to diagnose concerns that aren't visible and to understand more about your oral health by showing the interior of your teeth, gums, and jawbone. There are numerous dental conditions that may be diagnosed with dental x-rays, including decay, cavities, abscesses, cysts, bone loss, and impactions. If these conditions are identified in the early stages, there may be more effective and less invasive treatment options. During your dental examination in our Hamburg, PA office, digital dental imaging will help us accurately diagnose and correct oral health problems.

Dental technology is a part of routine dental exams and can be given for prevention if you are dealing with a specific dental issue. Here at Theodore E Dando DMD Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we strive to use digital teeth x-rays, the x-rays that use less radiation when compared to traditional dental x-rays, to minimize your exposure. Although they are usually safe for any patient, female patients who are breastfeeding or pregnant should tell our dental team at the start of their exam so that extra cautionary steps may be taken for these Hamburg, PA patients.

Most digital x-rays will take around 5 – 10 minutes to complete. They are taken in the areas where each Hamburg, PA patient needs them, whether it is for a routine annual exam or a specialty procedure. Once they are taken, they are uploaded to be viewed by you and our team during your exam. We will be able to show you if there are any areas of concern and discuss possible treatments. Contact Theodore E Dando DMD Family & Cosmetic Dentistry to learn more.

Digital dental images are generally taken annually here at Theodore E Dando DMD Family & Cosmetic Dentistry.
