Thanks to advanced in modern technology, taking an x-ray at the dentist is now safer than ever. Instead of traditional methods using x-ray film, the electronic sensor inserted into your mouth is connected to a computer. After the x-ray is taken, the image is viewable instantly on the screen.
The most obvious benefit of digital x-rays for the patient is reduced exposure to radiation, with digital x-rays emitting up to 90% less radiation than their traditional counterparts. Given that traditional x-rays already emitted relatively low radiation, the amount emitted from digital x-rays is negligible and completely safe.
The purpose of performing dental x-rays is to find abnormalities that were not detectable during a routine dental exam. Using x-ray images, a trained dental professional is able to detect decay between teeth, changes in bone density caused by gingivitis, the integrity of existing restorations, the condition of bone and root structure, and much more.
It is imperative to supplement a visual examination with x-ray imaging in order to more fully detect, diagnose, and treat oral health problems before they progress. We recommend taking a full series of digital x-rays approximately every three to five years. Bitewing x-rays are recommended 1-2 times per year.
With digital x-ray technology, early prevention of dental problems is safer than it has ever been before. While many patients may be fearful of radiation emitted during an x-ray, it is important to understand that low doses of radiation are completely normal and harmless to the human body.
The amount of radiation emitted during a traditional dental x-ray has been shown to be approximately equivalent to the amount of radiation you would naturally be exposed to on a normal day (called background radiation). Keeping this in mind, consider that a digital x-ray will emit just 10% of a traditional x-ray. What this means is that a digital x-ray emits the same amount of radiation that you would receive by standing outside for approximately 2 hours.
Like all other digital files, digital x-ray images have the added benefit of being easily shared between other medical professionals. And once received, they are stored much more easily and safely than traditional film x-rays. And because they are digital files, they reduce the waste generated by film, thus making them better for the environment.
Gum tissue is one of the most important oral structures you have for a number of reasons. They protect the vulnerable roots of teeth and ensure that your teeth have a reliable place to live. Without healthy gums, it doesnt matter how white or healthy your teeth are. If your gums begin to feel tender, swollen or uncomfortable, it could mean that gum disease has begun to develop. If youre in need of treatment, Dr. Ami Patelcan create a treatment plan that meets your needs!
Considered the gold standard for gum disease treatment, scaling and root planing work to remove plaque and tartar from areas above and beneath the gum line. Since at-home brushing or professional cleanings wont be enough to stop extensive gum disease, scaling is performed to effectively reach these areas. Root planing works to smooth out the tooth roots, making it easier for them to reattach to teeth after the gums begin receding. In order to effectively remove plaque and tartar without putting too much stress on the gums, scaling and root planing treatments are performed every three to four months.
As part of your scaling and root planing treatment, Dr. Ami Patel also performs antibiotic therapy to promote the healing and regeneration of gum tissue. Our dental office uses ARESTIN, an effective antibiotic designed to fight infection of gum tissue and significantly reduce the pocket depth of the gums. If you have moderate to advanced levels of periodontitis, ARESTIN can make a big difference as part of your aftercare. In some cases, your gum disease can return to its previous levels without antibiotic intervention.

I stayed away from the Dentist for a very long time and one day I thought I had a serious problem when I chipped my tooth. I had no choice but to return to the dentist again but I had to find one first. I found Dr. Ami Patel and it was the best decision I could have made. She made me feel comfortable returning every 6 months and now I'm back on track. Now it doesn't bother me to visit the Dentist anymore, especially her. She's very sweet and has a way about her that makes you not worry about scheduling your next appointment

I'm very fortunate to have Dr. Ami Patel as my family dentist. my visit started with intensive dental work including implants. The technology she has in place and the gentile care in all her procedures are calming and you always feel reassured that she has the ability to resolve any dental problems. I definitely recommend this office if you are looking for great dentist.
