State-of-the-Art Xrays

March 12, 2014

We take three types of x-rays at Park Crossing Dentistry. We take “bitewings” once a year to detect any tooth decay or bone loss.  The second type of x-ray we take is a periapical xray (also called a PA) which captures a specific tooth and its root. Many times this type of x-ray is taken to detect problems with the tooth root, deep decay or a crack in the tooth.  The third type is a panoramic x-ray (pictured).  This x-ray detects bone loss, wisdom teeth eruption and other abnormal growths or jaw issues.  All of our x-ray machines are digital and provide the safest technology available.
