Technologies at Our Dental Clinic
At Southport Dental Clinic, the technology we use helps us develop a treatment plan and make your dental appointments run smoothly. Since we can display digital X-rays and scans on the monitors in our treatment rooms, we can show you any oral health issues and walk you through your treatment plan.
We aim to inform patients about their oral health as we provide them with dental care. Dental technology helps us accomplish that.
Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays use digital sensors instead of traditional photographic X-ray film. They produce highly detailed computer images of the teeth and gums, as well as other oral structures and conditions. This allows your dentist to examine parts of the mouth that are not visible to the naked eye.
Panoramic X-Rays
Panoramic X-rays allow your dentist to create a single image of the entire mouth. This image is a flat representation of the teeth, upper and lower jaws, temporomandibular joints (TMJ), and nasal and sinus structures. Panoramic X-rays can help plan treatments for dentures, braces, extractions, and implants.
