Dental X-rays in Kennesaw, GA

A contemporary dental facility, MINT dentistry in Kennesaw, GA makes use of the best devices in the oral care industry. MINT dentistry takes digital x-rays, also called digital radiographs, during annual exams to obtain a better view of your mouth. Digital x-rays help our staff of board-certified dental professionals to diagnose abnormalities that are below the visible surface so they can better understand the health of your teeth and jaw. A lot of dental problems can be discovered with digital x-rays, including cysts, cavities (tooth decay), abscesses, bone loss, and tooth impaction. When a problem is detected in the early stages, you will likely have more treatment options that are effective and either minimal or noninvasive. During your dental exam, digital x-rays help our team to diagnose and correct concerns.

Generally, digital x-rays are done during your dental exam so we can check the health of your teeth and gums. You may also need digital x-rays taken if you are experiencing pain or dental issues of any kind to help our team properly diagnose, then treat your problem. Digital x-rays emit less radiation compared to film x-rays, but MINT dentistry still prefers to limit how often you are exposed. Though they are typically safe for patients of all ages, 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.

When it's time for your exam, you can relax in a massaging treatment chair. After choosing whether to listen to your favorite jams on our Beats headphones or to watch a show on a flat-screen television, our team will take your x-rays. Typically completed at the start of your appointment, x-rays at our Kennesaw, GA facility usually take less than ten minutes to capture. In most situations, we will take images that include all of your teeth. After the digital x-rays are complete, they can be viewed immediately so you and your MINT dentist can review the images during your appointment. If there are any problems, your dentist will explain the area of concern and go over your treatment options.

Your digital x-rays will typically be needed during your routine oral health exams. During some visits, a whole mouth series may be taken to get a more complete view of your teeth and jawbone. Your digital x-rays will be safely attached to your patient record at MINT dentistry so our dental professionals can watch for subtle changes and identify any issues. In most cases, there isn't specific aftercare needed after digital x-rays except whatever dental instructions are given to you by your MINT dentist. Follow-up appointments may be needed if treatment is recommended. We always suggest great oral care at home, plus scheduling your biannual exams and cleanings at our dental office in Kennesaw, GA to keep your smile beautiful.

Usually, dental insurance will pay for preventive procedures, like digital x-rays, once a year with your dental exam. We will speak to your insurance company to determine if you have any additional costs. If you don't have dental insurance, MINT dentistry accepts several methods of payment, including low-interest financing. Our team is committed to ensuring that you receive a comprehensive oral health examination when you visit our office. Our use of advanced equipment, including digital x-rays, allows our team of dental professionals to properly care for you and your family.
