Digital X-rays

Digital x-rays are a safer, faster, and more efficient alternative to traditional film x-rays. Our Bellaire dentists use digital radiography to capture detailed images of your teeth, gums, and jaw bone. These images are immediately available for viewing on a computer screen, allowing for quick and accurate diagnoses. Digital x-rays offer numerous advantages, such as:

✔️ Reduced radiation exposure (up to 90% less than film x-rays)

✔️ Instant viewing and easy sharing with specialists or insurance providers

✔️ Enhanced image quality with the ability to zoom in and adjust contrast

✔️ Environmentally friendly with no need for chemical processing

We use digital x-rays for a variety of purposes, from detecting cavities and gum disease to planning orthodontic treatment and dental implant placement. Our dental office is committed to using the safest and most advanced technology to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.

Intraoral Cameras

An intraoral camera is a small, pen-sized device that allows our Bellaire dentists to take high-resolution images of your teeth and gums. These images are displayed on a screen in real-time, giving you a close-up view of your oral health. Intraoral cameras offer several benefits, including:

✔️ Early detection of cavities, cracks, and other issues

✔️ Enhanced patient education and communication

✔️ Improved accuracy of diagnoses and treatment planning

✔️ Documentation of dental conditions for insurance purposes

Our Medicaid dentists in Bellaire use intraoral cameras during routine check-ups and consultations to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of your oral health. By seeing what we see, you can make informed decisions about your dental care and feel more engaged in the treatment process.

Ultrasonic Scaling

Ultrasonic scaling is a modern technique for removing plaque and tartar buildup during dental cleanings. Our Bellaire hygienists use a specialized tool that emits high-frequency vibrations to break up hardened deposits on your teeth and below the gum line. Ultrasonic scaling is more comfortable and efficient than traditional hand scaling, offering benefits such as:

✔️ Faster and more thorough removal of plaque and tartar

✔️ Reduced discomfort and sensitivity during cleanings

✔️ Improved access to hard-to-reach areas, such as deep pockets or tight spaces between teeth

✔️ Gentle yet effective treatment for patients with sensitive teeth or gums

In addition to ultrasonic scaling, we also use advanced tools like laser cavity detection and air abrasion for minimally invasive treatments. Our goal is to provide you with the most comfortable and effective dental care possible using the latest technology available.
