Dental X-Rays, Coquitlam

Dental x-rays are an integral part of the management and treatment of the dental patient.

They allow the dentist access to areas between and inside the teeth, under the gums and in the jawbones. These are areas that are inaccessible to the naked eye. This permits the dentist to properly diagnose and treat any abnormalities detected by x-rays.

The most commonly used dental x-rays fall into three categories:

Periapicals

These provide visibility of the entire tooth and root, as well as the surrounding jaw bone and gums. These x-rays are used to diagnose tooth infections extending into the bone (abscesses), root fractures and general root anatomy. They are also and important tool in the treatment of gum disease as dentists are clearly able to monitor the height of bone attachment surrounding the teeth.

Bitewings

They show the crowns (parts of the teeth above the gum line). These x-rays are used in the diagnosis of cavities between the teeth.

Panoramic X-rays

The largest of the three types of x-rays. They show all the upper and lower teeth and jaws, as well as the sinuses in one x-ray. These x-rays are used I the treatment of wisdom teeth, diagnoses of disease and abnormalities in the jawbone, the placement of dental implants, and are a useful tool in the treatment of gum disease.

The frequency at which x-rays are taken depend on age, disease susceptibility and symptoms. Children may require x-rays more frequently than adults due to continuing jaw development and a higher risk of cavities. It is advisable to consult the dentist to determine each patient’s need for x-rays.

IMPLANTS

The use of implants provides patients with a superior technique to replace missing teeth resulting in improved comfort, speech, chewing and a better sense of self-esteem.

ROOT CANALS

Endodontic therapy treats the irreversibly damaged nerve and blood vessels of the tooth and returns the tooth to a comfortable functioning state.

CROWNS

Fabricated covering that encases the tooth entirely to the gum line. Crowns remain one of the best techniques available to restore compromised teeth.

FILLINGS

Once caries has been detected the only way to stop its progression is to remove the decay until sound tooth structure has been reached, and replace it with a filling material.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great experience at this dental office. The hygienist, Lena, was very kind, gentle, and professional. She explained everything clearly and made me feel comfortable throughout the appointment.

The doctor, Dr. Imran, was also very friendly and took the time to explain everything carefully. The reception staff, especially Rita, were very welcoming and helpful as well.

Everyone was kind and professional, and I felt very well taken care of. I would definitely recommend this dental office to anyone looking for a friendly and caring dental team!
