Dental Imaging

To maintain healthy teeth, it’s essential to practice good dental hygiene. It's also important to visit a dental care provider at least two times a year, who will assess the current state of your oral health and provide input on how to take care of your teeth properly. During your initial visit to Little River Family Dental, you can expect your oral exam to be accompanied by x-rays or other dental imaging techniques. With digital imaging, the storage, retrieval, and manipulation of images is made much easier, meaning less time spent with us and more time spent doing what you love!

Dental imaging helps our provider make a thorough, well-informed diagnosis and treatment plan catered to your unique needs. During the last three decades, this technology has improved tenfold alongside the benefits that these systems provide. Today, there are many types of x-rays and other imaging methods available that can be used to detect oral diseases and abnormalities such as oral cancer, cavities, hidden dental structures, and bone loss. Depending on your symptoms, some procedures will be more suitable than others. Take a closer look at some of the modern dental imaging procedures we may use during your visit.

Advancements in technology have offered experts the ability to use faster and more precise ways to diagnose a problem, and that is no different in dental imaging. We, at Little River Family Dental are proud to have the technology available to accurately diagnose your dental issues quickly and have the assurance that we need to provide you with the ideal treatments available.
