Orchard Family Dentistry uses technology to enhance digital x-rays taken at our office in Centennial as part of our many preventative care services. We provide both intraoral x-rays as well as panoramic x-rays. Intraoral x-rays are typically taken once a year on average. They provide a close up view to help diagnose cavities, bone loss, root and nerve infections, and pathology. Panoramic x-rays are taken every 5 years. They provide an overall view of the mouth and help us to see the wisdom teeth, jaw (TMJ), sinus cavity, changes in bone, and pathology.
It is recommended that x-rays be taken at least once a year as your oral health can change each time you visit the office. If you get your cleanings every 6 months, then x-rays are typically alternated at each appointment.
X-rays have come a long way in the dental industry and today there is minimal radiation when using the digital x-rays taken in our office. To put it into perspective, you will gain more radiation taking a flight from NYC to LA compared to the x-rays taken at your first appointment. However, there are circumstances when we do not take x-rays (ex., pregnancy).
At Orchard Family Dentistry, we believe it is our responsibility to provide a comfortable and friendly environment for our patients. We support our patient’s needs using gentle techniques and placing the highest priority on the quality of our dental work as well as our connection with our patients.
