In order to better understand your unique dental situation, Dr. Joseph Szymczak uses dental X-rays at MI Roots Family Dental to examine the structure of your teeth. This gives him the familiar black-and-white images that can be used to diagnose different dental problems and diseases. Our dentist can use an X-ray of your teeth, supporting bone and gum tissue to detect infection, decay and a number of other issues. Without X-rays, it would be very difficult for Dr. Szymczak to prevent a small cavity from turning into serious dental trouble.
At our dental practice, we use digital X-rays that use only a small sensor to record the image of your teeth and send it to a computer. Because of this technology, we can take images using up to 90% less radiation than conventional film X-rays. For you, the process is similar to traditional X-rays, but you will not have to wait for the film to finish developing. The benefit of digital radiography in Grand Rapids, Michigan, is that our dentist can use a highly detailed image of your mouth to better diagnose dental concerns and determine the very best possible treatment for your individual case.
To learn more about digital radiography and how this technology can improve your oral care, call 616-453-0002 or visit us today. We are eager to care for you!
