Dental X-ray

The benefits of X-rays are well known: They help dentists diagnose common problems, such as cavities, gum disease and some types of infections. Radiographs allow dentists to see inside a tooth and beneath the gums to assess the health of the bone and supporting tissues that hold teeth in place.

There are a number of X-rays a dental professional can order. The amount and type of X-rays needed will depend greatly on the type of care the patient needs to receive.

A dental X-ray allows the dentist to see detailed images of your mouth. Various types of dental X-rays are available, including:

  • Bitewing. This type of X-ray allows the dentist or hygienist to see in between the margins of the upper and lower teeth. During a bitewing X-ray, you’ll bite down on the X-ray film holder while the X-ray images are being taken.

  • Periapical. This type of X-ray allows the dentist to see the entire tooth and the surrounding cortical bone.
  • Panoramic. This type of X-ray gives the dentist a broad view of the entire mouth.
  • Cone beam computerized tomography. This type of X-ray provides a 3-D view so that the dentist can better gauge the spacing of teeth and adjacent structures. (not offered at Eicon Dental)

X-rays are typically taken during your bi-yearly check up visit or if you are new to the practice. Radiation exposure from dental X-rays is very low — but you may talk to your dentist if there are any concerns about radiation exposure.

During your dental exam, our team will also conduct an oral cancer screening to detect any signs of abnormalities or lesions. By thoroughly examining your mouth, jaw, and neck, we can identify any suspicious areas early on and provide appropriate interventions for your well-being.
