Digital X-Rays in Borger, TX
At Above & Beyond Dental we use extraoral digital X-rays — the images are captured from outside your mouth, so you don't have to bite down on film tabs. Radiation exposure is a fraction of older film X-rays, and the images come up on the screen immediately.
What the images help us find
- Decay between teeth that isn't visible at exam
- Bone loss around the roots
- Cysts, abscesses, and infections
- Misalignment of teeth and jaws
- Developmental issues in younger patients
How we use them during your visit
Because the images show up on the monitor right away, Dr. Robertson can walk you through what he's seeing — the tooth that has a shadow between it and its neighbor, the bone height around a specific root — instead of describing it in the abstract. The files are stored electronically, so if you ever need to share records with a specialist or another office, it takes a few clicks.
