Advanced Imaging for Accurate, Comprehensive Dental Care
At Centennial Family Dentistry, we believe that the foundation of exceptional dental care is accurate diagnosis and proactive prevention. That’s why we use dental X-rays as a critical tool in identifying potential oral health issues early. With our advanced digital X-ray technology, we provide precise imaging in a safe and efficient manner, helping us create tailored treatment plans to protect your smile.
Whether it’s your routine check-up or a specific dental concern, you can trust our team in Las Vegas to deliver expert care using the latest in dental imaging technology.
What Are Dental X-Rays?
Dental X-rays are images of your teeth, gums, and jaw that allow your dentist to see problems that may not be visible during a physical exam. These images help us diagnose a wide range of oral health issues, from cavities and infections to bone loss and impacted teeth.
At Centennial Family Dentistry, we exclusively use digital X-rays, which are safer, faster, and more accurate than traditional film X-rays. Digital imaging exposes patients to significantly less radiation and provides high-resolution images instantly.
Why Are Dental X-Rays Important?
Dental X-rays are a vital diagnostic tool that helps us:
- Detect cavities in between teeth or under existing restorations.
- Identify gum disease and evaluate bone loss.
- Monitor the growth and alignment of teeth, especially in children and teens.
- Locate impacted teeth or evaluate wisdom teeth.
- Detect oral infections or abscesses that may not cause visible symptoms.
- Plan treatments like dental implants or root canals with precision.
By catching these issues early, X-rays allow us to address problems before they worsen, saving you time, money, and discomfort in the long run.
Types of Dental X-Rays We Offer
At Centennial Family Dentistry, we utilize different types of X-rays depending on your specific needs:
- Bitewing X-Rays:
Bitewing X-rays capture the upper and lower teeth in one area, making it easier to detect cavities between teeth and check the health of existing fillings or crowns. - Panoramic X-Rays:
Panoramic X-rays provide a full view of your entire mouth, including teeth, jawbones, and sinuses. This type of imaging is often used to assess wisdom teeth or plan for dental implants. - Periapical X-Rays:
These X-rays focus on a single tooth and its surrounding bone, making them ideal for diagnosing abscesses or infections. - 3D Cone Beam Imaging:
For more complex cases, such as implant planning or oral surgery, we use advanced 3D imaging technology for highly detailed views of your teeth and jaw.
Are Dental X-Rays Safe?
Yes, dental X-rays are completely safe when performed by professionals. With modern digital X-ray technology, radiation exposure is minimal—up to 90% less than traditional film X-rays. At Centennial Family Dentistry, we prioritize your safety by using the latest equipment and protective measures, including lead aprons and thyroid collars.
If you’re pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or have specific concerns about X-rays, let us know. We’ll take every precaution to ensure your safety and comfort.
How Often Do You Need Dental X-Rays?
The frequency of dental X-rays depends on your age, oral health history, and risk factors. For most patients, X-rays are recommended every 6–12 months as part of their routine dental cleaning and exam. However, patients with ongoing oral health issues may need them more frequently to monitor their condition.
For children, X-rays are essential for tracking tooth development and identifying potential alignment or eruption issues.
