Formulate An Effective Treatment Plan With Dental Imaging


Dental imaging is crucial in today’s dentistry, revolutionizing how oral health conditions are diagnosed and treated. At Methuen Family Dentistry in Methuen, we use imaging technologies to obtain comprehensive visualizations of the oral cavity, aiding in accurate diagnoses and effective treatment planning.

Types of Dental Imaging:

  • X-Rays (Radiographs): X-rays are the most commonly used dental imaging technique. They capture images of teeth, bones, and underlying structures, helping us identify cavities, periodontal disease, impacted teeth, and bone abnormalities.
  • Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT): CBCT produces highly detailed 3D images of the mouth and jaw. It enables our dentists to evaluate the position of impacted teeth, assess jawbone density for implant placement, detect pathology, and plan orthodontic treatment.
  • Intraoral Cameras: These compact devices capture high-resolution images inside the mouth, giving our dentists a close-up view of the teeth and soft tissues. Intraoral cameras aid in detecting cavities, cracks, and abnormalities.
  • Panoramic Radiographs: Panoramic images provide a broad view of the entire mouth, including teeth, jawbones, and sinuses. Our dentists use this imaging technique to evaluate impacted teeth, detect tumors, and assess oral health.

What are the benefits of dental imaging?

Dental imaging allows us to identify dental issues in their early stages. This facilitates prompt intervention, preventing the progression of oral diseases and potentially saving you from more extensive treatments. The detailed images provided by dental imaging techniques enable us to make accurate diagnoses, leading to targeted treatment plans and better patient outcomes by providing valuable information about tooth and bone structure. This allows for better placement of dental implants, orthodontic appliances, and more. Our dentists can use these images to explain your treatment options and educate you about your dental health, fostering a proactive approach to oral care.
