Digital Dental Radiology

Every treatment plan begins with a dental x-ray. The good news is that at Miko Dental, this department is located within our clinic, eliminating the need for additional trips to other imaging centers. Our state-of-the-art Planmeca Promax 3D CBCT scanner features special systems to prevent the harmful effects of ionizing radiation on the body.

TYPES OF IMAGING EXAMINATIONS

1. Panoramic X-Ray

A panoramic x-ray provides a complete and comprehensive view of the entire oral cavity, including the jaws and mandible. This extraoral procedure is extremely popular and useful for evaluating bone structures, tooth alignment, and other potential conditions. The images captured by the panoramic radiograph are automatically sent to the dentist’s office, allowing us to get a global perspective on the patient’s oral health.

2. Periapical X-Ray

Also known as intraoral radiography, the periapical x-ray is essential for the detailed diagnosis of dental problems. This technique captures high-resolution images of a single tooth or a group of teeth, allowing our doctors to identify cavities, gum diseases, and other dental issues in their early stages.

3. Dental CT Scan

Using the Planmeca Promax 3D CBCT scanner, we perform precise and detailed dental CT scans. This advanced imaging technique allows us to obtain three-dimensional images of dental structures, including roots and surrounding tissues. Dental CT scans are extremely useful for planning complex surgical procedures, such as dental implants, and diagnosing conditions that directly affect the jawbone or mandible.
