X-ray Tucker, GA

A contemporary dental facility, MINT dentistry in Tucker, GA has the most advanced technology in the dental care industry. MINT dentistry uses digital x-rays, also known as digital radiographs, as part of routine dental exams to obtain a clear, concise view of your oral health. Digital x-rays help our team of board-certified dentists to diagnose problems that are invisible to the naked eye so they can fully understand your oral health, including factors affecting your jawbone and tooth roots. Many problems can be discovered with digital x-rays, including cavities (tooth decay), cysts, atrophy in the jawbone, abscesses, and abnormal tooth eruption. If a condition is detected early, you'll likely have more options for treatment that are effective and less invasive.

Digital x-rays taken during dental examinations at MINT dentistry help our dentists properly diagnose and address dental concerns. We may also recommend radiographs if you're having pain or dental issues of any kind so we can correctly diagnose the problem and determine a treatment plan. Digital x-rays emit less radiation compared to traditional x-rays, but MINT dentistry still prefers to minimize your exposure. Though digital x-rays are considered safe for most people, female patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding should tell our MINT dentistry team at the beginning of their appointment so we can take appropriate precautions or provide extra protection.

To begin your exam, we will have you relax in a comfortable treatment chair. After you decide whether to catch up on your favorite television show or jam out to music with Beats headphones, our team will take your x-rays. Digital x-rays at our Tucker, GA facility are typically completed at the beginning of your appointment and only take a few minutes to capture. In most situations, your x-rays will include views of your teeth and jawbone. As soon as the images are complete, they will be uploaded immediately to our computer so you and a MINT dentistry team member can review the images during your appointment. If there are any abnormalities, your dentist will show you the area of concern and go over your treatment options.

A series of digital x-rays will generally be done once or twice a year at your dental exam visits. During some visits, a whole mouth series may be taken to give us a more comprehensive view of your jawbone. These images will be safely attached to your file at MINT dentistry, so our dental professionals can observe subtle changes and chart any growing concerns. In general, there isn't any aftercare required following radiographs apart from whatever dental instructions are suggested by the MINT dentistry team. Another appointment may be needed if a procedure is recommended. To keep your smile bright and healthy, our team encourages you to maintain good oral hygiene at home and attend routine cleanings and exams at our Tucker, GA practice.

Many dental insurance plans cover digital x-rays during routine dental exams and at certain intervals. We will contact your insurance provider to determine if you have any additional costs. If you're paying out of pocket, MINT dentistry accepts several methods of payment, including low-interest financing. We're committed to making sure that you have a thorough oral health examination every year at our facility. Using cutting-edge tools, like digital x-rays, helps MINT dentistry bring the highest standard of care to your oral health needs.

The key to a gorgeous smile is proactive dental care and detecting small problems before they become larger concerns. Digital x-rays use advanced technology to help diagnose and address dental issues early for a greater chance of treatment success.
