Radiological diagnostics

Radiological diagnostics is a key component of modern dentistry, allowing dentists to gain detailed insight into the internal structure of the teeth, jaws, and surrounding tissues. Using different types of X-rays, a dentist can accurately diagnose a wide range of conditions, from cavities and dental infections, to jaw diseases and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems.

This type of diagnostics allows for early detection of problems that are not visible to the naked eye, which allows for timely treatment and reduces the risk of further complications. Digital imaging of teeth and jaws is fast, accurate and safer than traditional X-ray techniques, as it uses less radiation.

With the help of radiological images, the dentist can better plan treatments, monitor the progress of treatment and make an accurate diagnosis. Regardless of whether it is a routine examination or a specific problem, radiological diagnostics is an indispensable tool for achieving optimal results in dental practice.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Here you will find answers to the most common questions that our patients ask regarding this service.

Digital dental and jaw imaging is a modern dental technique that uses X-ray images for precise diagnosis of the condition of your teeth, jaws, and surrounding tissues, with minimal radiation exposure.

This service includes various types of images, including the 2D orthopantomogram (panoramic image), which shows all the teeth and jaws in one picture, the profile (tele-radiograph) image, which provides a side view of the jaws and their relationship, the frontal image, which focuses on the front part of the jaws and teeth, and the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) image, which allows for the assessment of the jaw joint's condition and the diagnosis of potential dysfunctions.

Digital imaging uses less radiation, provides faster results, and allows the dentist to make a more accurate diagnosis.

No, digital recording is completely painless and takes only a few seconds.

The dentist will inform you if digital imaging is required, which is done in the office as part of the examination or treatment.
