The need for dental x-rays at Everbright Dental is determined on a case-by-case basis, always prioritising the patient’s health and safety. Our approach ensures that our patients in Kurri Kurri and Raymond Terrace receive the most appropriate and personalised dental care.
Why We Use Dental X-Rays
Dental x-rays are a fundamental component of dental care, providing crucial information that cannot be seen during a standard oral examination. These images help our dental professionals detect and diagnose various dental conditions such as cavities, jawbone damage, and impacted teeth. They’re instrumental in planning dental treatments like crowns, dentures or bridges.
How Often We Take Dental X-Rays
At Everbright Dental, we consider several factors before recommending x-rays. These include your dental history, age, oral health and risk factors for some dental issues.
For instance, if you have a history of frequent cavities or gum disease, we might suggest more frequent x-rays to monitor your condition closely. Conversely, we may not require x-rays at each visit if you have consistently good oral health.
New Patient X-Rays
New patients generally undergo dental x-rays to provide us with a baseline view of their oral health. This is crucial for identifying any existing issues and for future comparison.
