Advanced Dental X-Rays in Montgomery, Alabama

Welcome to Mathews Dental, where we prioritize your oral health with precision and care. Dental X-rays are a crucial component of our diagnostic process, enabling us to detect issues that are not visible during a regular dental examination. Dr. Wright Mathews, Dr. Melodie Jones and Dr. Brandon Veach utilize state-of-the-art X-ray technology to provide the best care for our patients in Montgomery and the surrounding areas.

Importance of Dental X-Rays

Dental X-rays, also known as radiographs, are essential tools in preventive dentistry. They allow us to:

• Identify hidden dental problems, such as cavities, infections, and bone loss.
• Monitor the progress of dental treatments.
• Plan procedures, including implants, braces, and extractions.
• Detect developmental abnormalities in children.

Types of Dental X-Rays We Offer

1. Bitewing X-Rays: Show the details of the upper and lower teeth in one area of the mouth, highlighting decay between teeth.
2. Periapical X-Rays: Focus on one or two teeth, capturing the entire tooth from crown to root.
3. Panoramic X-Rays: Provide a broad view of the jaws, teeth, sinuses, and nasal area.
4. Occlusal X-Rays: Capture the roof or floor of the mouth to show the entire arch of teeth in either the upper or lower jaw.

Our dental X-ray technology includes:

• Digital X-Rays: Provide clear images with lower radiation exposure compared to traditional X-rays.
• 3D Cone Beam CT Scans: Offer detailed 3D images for complex cases, such as implant planning and orthodontic assessments.

Safety and Comfort

Your safety and comfort are our top priorities. Our digital X-ray systems use minimal radiation, and we take all necessary precautions to protect you, including the use of lead aprons and thyroid collars. We understand that some patients may have concerns about X-rays, and we are here to address any questions and ensure you feel at ease.

What to Expect During a Dental X-Ray

1. Preparation: You will be comfortably seated, and a lead apron will be placed over your body to protect you from radiation.
2. Taking the X-Ray: Depending on the type of X-ray, you may be asked to bite down on a plastic piece to keep your teeth in place. The process is quick and painless.
3. Image Review: The X-ray images are immediately available for review. Dr. Mathews will examine the images and discuss any findings with you.
