Dental X-rays are a vital part of a dental examination There are two main types of dental X-rays: those taken with the X-ray film inside the mouth (intraoral) and those taken with the X-ray film outside the mouth (extraoral). Intraoral X-rays are the ones most commonly used. They provide detailed evidence of the growth of developing teeth, the health of tooth roots and surrounding bone, including the jaw. They also help the dentist zero in on any cavities. Extraoral X-rays, while they also show the teeth, primarily focus on the jaw and skull. They are therefore more helpful in diagnosing malocclusions, impacted teeth, and possible temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD).
Bite-wing X-rays, named for the fact that the patient bites down on the film, provide details of both the upper and lower teeth in one section of the mouth. Since each one visualizes an entire tooth, bite-wings are used to evaluate changes in bone density that may result from gum disease and to detect decay. These X-rays are also valuable when the dentist wants to fit a crown or check on the integrity of fillings.
Occlusal X-rays are larger than most other X-rays, and are most often used to track tooth development and location in children. Because these X-rays show the entire arch of the upper or lower teeth in the jaw, they help the dentist to evaluate possible bite problems.
These X-rays take images of the whole mouth at once, showing all the upper and lower teeth at one time. Panoramic X-rays show positions of developing, fully erupted, or impacted teeth and are also helpful in diagnosing tumors.
Tomograms are designed to highlight a particular layer of the mouth that might otherwise be obscured by adjacent layers. These X-rays focus on the desired image and intentionally blur those that are in the way of the targeted structure.
Cephalometric projections provide an image of the entire side of the head, presenting views of the teeth in relation to the jaw. These X-rays are useful to orthodontists as they develop treatment plans to correct malocclusion.
Sialography enables the dentist to visualize the salivary glands. In order for the procedure to take place, the patient is injected with a dye that allows the salivary glands to be seen on X-ray. This type of X-ray is used to detect blockages of the salivary glands or to investigate conditions such as Sjgrens syndrome.
Also known as CT scanning, computed tomography shows images of internal structures in three dimensions. This variety of X-ray, sometimes used to evaluate problems of the bones of the face, including fractures or tumors, is also employed to evaluate precise locations for dental implants and complex tooth extractions.

Second time patient at LanCo Family Dental, I've had an absolutely great experience both times! I was greeted by Melissa, she is so sweet and has made me feel very welcomed and comfortable in this new office! I have met two of their hygienists, Alexia and Jess, both are very friendly and professional, and it was so nice talking to them! After my first appointment I was automatically set for another appointment for a cavity filling only a week later! Quick, efficient, and done! Dr. Register took the time to get to know me at my first visit and he did an amazing job on my teeth. Made sure I wasn't in any pain and was completely comfortable! Overall, LanCo Family Dental is a family oriented office and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a new dentist!
