Dental X-Rays Contribute to a Healthier Smile

One of the best things about the world we live in is the fact that technology is always growing, advancing, and bettering itself. Advancing technology has really made an amazing impact on many fields and specialties, especially that of dentistry.  The team at New Smile Dental love offering the latest technology, such as dental x-rays, to their patients, as it coincides with having an easier, healthier, and more comfortable appointment.

Digital dental x-rays have given dentists and hygienists the opportunity to look far beyond the surface of your teeth, allowing for a more personalized and healthy treatment plan. Also, dental x-rays allow for doctors to detect diseases and other complications before they arise and/or become a serious problem. These issues include bone loss, tooth decay, abscesses, and much, much more.

Some people may be cautious about using dental x-rays because of the amount of radiation they fear they will be exposed to. Luckily, these dental x-rays give off as much radiation in a full serious of dental x-rays as nature does, so you will be safe, comfortable, and healthy throughout the entire appointment. Dental x-rays are usually taken every time a patient has a checkup and a cleaning, but because everyone is different, some patients may need dental x-rays more often than others. No matter how many times you need to have x-rays done, Dr. Gilbert Lopez and the team at New Smile Dental will make sure that your smile is even better than it was when you walked through our doors.

At New Smile Dental, we focus on enhancing and restoring the beauty of your smile with help from the latest dental technology. Dr. Gilbert Lopez treats patients from Fort Smith and Van Buren, AR and surrounding areas. Call us today to schedule your next appointment.
