X-rays Morrow, GA

As an innovative dental office, MINT dentistry in Morrow, GA makes use of the most advanced technologies in the industry. MINT dentistry performs digital x-rays, sometimes referred to as 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 conditions that are invisible to the naked eye so they can fully improve your oral health, including your teeth and jaw. A lot of conditions can be seen using digital x-rays, such as tooth decay (cavities), cysts, an abscess, bone loss, and impacted teeth. If a condition is detected in the early stages, you will likely have more treatment options with a greater chance of success. During your annual exam at MINT dentistry, digital x-rays allow our team to more accurately diagnose and treat oral health issues.

Digital x-rays are typically performed during your annual exam. Your dentist may also recommend digital x-rays if you're having pain or concerned about symptoms to help our team properly diagnose and treat your problem. Digital x-rays use less radiation compared to film x-rays, but we still prefer to minimize how often you are exposed. While they are typically safe for patients of all ages, women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should inform our MINT dentistry team at the beginning of their appointment so that extra precautions can be taken.

You will begin your appointment in comfort by relaxing into one of our massaging treatment chairs. After choosing whether to watch a show or listen to music on a pair of Beats headphones, our team will take your x-rays. Commonly done at the beginning of your dental visit, x-rays at our Morrow, GA facility typically take less than ten minutes to finish. In most situations, we will take images that include all of your teeth and jawbone. As soon as the x-rays are complete, they will be uploaded immediately so your MINT dentist can see the x-rays during your appointment. If there are any abnormalities, your dentist will point out the issue and discuss your treatment options.

A series of digital x-rays will usually be performed during your regular dental exams. For some visits, a whole mouth series may be taken to get a more complete view of not just your teeth but also your jaw. Your digital x-rays will be securely stored in your patient record at MINT dentistry so we can monitor subtle changes and chart any areas of concern. There is no specific aftercare required after x-rays unless otherwise recommended by the MINT dentistry team. Follow-up appointments may be scheduled if a procedure is required. We always suggest taking good care of your teeth at home with an oral hygiene routine, as well as scheduling your professional cleanings every six months at our dental office in Morrow, GA to keep your smile healthy and beautiful.

Most dental insurance plans will typically pay for preventive dental procedures, like digital x-rays. We will contact your provider to determine if you will have any remaining costs. For any out-of-pocket expenses or if you don't have dental insurance, MINT dentistry accepts many different payment methods and we can help you find low-interest medical financing.
