Using Diagnostic Imaging to Maintain Oral Health
At West End Dental Centre, we use state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging, including digital x-rays, to help identify potential oral health problems before they become more serious. Whether you’re coming in for a routine check-up or experiencing dental discomfort, our diagnostic imaging services ensure that we get a comprehensive view of your dental health.
Be Proactive with Oral Cancer Screenings
Alongside digital x-rays, we also offer oral cancer screenings. Early detection of oral cancer can significantly improve treatment outcomes. We recommend regular screenings, especially for patients with risk factors such as tobacco use or a family history of cancer.
Why Are Digital X-rays Important?
Digital x-rays allow us to see what’s happening beneath the surface of your gums and teeth. With this advanced technology, we can detect issues like:
- Cavities between teeth that may not be visible during a visual examination
- Bone loss due to gum disease
- Abscesses or cysts
- Developmental abnormalities or impacted teeth
Digital x-rays are faster, safer, and more efficient than traditional x-rays, minimizing radiation exposure and providing immediate results that we can discuss with you during your visit.
Oral Cancer Screenings Save Lives
Oral cancer screenings are a critical part of your dental care routine, especially for patients who smoke or use tobacco. Early detection of oral cancer can make a significant difference in treatment success, so we encourage all our patients to stay proactive with regular screenings.
