X-rays in Conyers, GA

MINT dentistry in Conyers, GA employs all the latest technologies available in the oral health industry. To ensure our practice remains state-of-the-art, we perform digital x-rays, also called digital radiographs, as part of every dental exam to obtain a clear, concise view of your mouth. Digital x-rays allow our staff of board-certified doctors to diagnose abnormalities that are below the visible surface so they can better see the whole picture of your oral health, including your teeth and jaw. Several problems can be seen using digital x-rays, such as cysts, cavities (tooth decay), atrophy in the jawbone, abscesses, and abnormal tooth eruption. When an issue is detected early, you will likely have more treatment options with a greater chance of success. During your dental exam, digital x-rays help us to diagnose and create your best treatment plan.

Digital x-rays are taken during your regular annual exams as a preventive measure. You may also need digital x-rays taken if you're in pain or have dental issues of any kind to help our team correctly diagnose, then decide on a treatment plan. Digital x-rays use less radiation compared to traditional x-rays, but we still prefer to minimize the amount of exposure that is delivered to every patient. Although they are considered safe for most patients, female patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding should inform our MINT dentistry team at the beginning of their appointment so we can take extra precautions.

To begin your appointment, we will invite you to relax in a luxurious massage 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. Commonly performed at the start of your appointment, digital x-rays at our Conyers, GA facility usually take less than ten minutes to take. In most situations, we will take images that include views of your teeth. Once the images are complete, they can be uploaded immediately so you and a MINT dentistry team member can see the images during your appointment. If there are any problems, your dentist will show you the issue and discuss your treatment options.

Your digital x-rays will usually be taken during your regular appointments. Every few years, we will recommend a whole mouth series to give us a comprehensive view of your teeth and jawbone. All of your x-rays will be safely attached to your patient record at MINT dentistry so we can watch for changes over time and chart any areas of concern. There isn't aftercare needed following digital x-rays unless otherwise recommended by the MINT dentistry team. Another appointment may be needed if a procedure is required. Our team always encourages daily home care, as well as attending your twice-yearly cleanings and dental exams at our dental practice in Conyers, GA to keep your smile beautiful.

Typically, the cost of digital x-rays is at least partially covered by dental insurance as a part of your routine dental treatment. We will speak to your insurance company to determine if you will have any personal costs. If you are paying out of pocket, MINT dentistry takes several payment methods and we can help you find low-interest financing. MINT dentistry is committed to ensuring that you receive a thorough oral health examination when you visit our office. Using advanced equipment, including digital x-rays, allows MINT dentistry to properly care for you and your family.
