What Is Dental Digital Radiography?
Digital dental x-rays are a modern imaging technology used by our team at Eastern Shore Endodontics to gain clear and precise images of a patient's teeth and surrounding structures. Using digital radiography, Dr. Manasco can more easily identify issues that might not be visible to the naked eye, allowing for a more complete understanding of the health of your teeth, jaw, and gums. Digital x-rays can reveal a variety of conditions, including tooth decay, cavities, abscesses, cysts, bone atrophy, and cracks, allowing our providers to treat them promptly before they worsen. If you are suffering from severe dental damage or decay, or if your dentist has referred you for endodontic treatment, schedule a consultation and exam at Eastern Shore Endodontics in Daphne, AL to learn how dental digital radiography can enhance your treatment experience.
How Do You Perform Digital X-Rays?
Digital dental x-rays usually take about 5 – 10 minutes to complete. For most patients, we will take a series of x-rays to assess different parts of the mouth. For your x-ray, we'll direct you to gently bite down on a small sensor placed between your teeth. The x-ray machine will then capture the images, which are sent to our computer to be compiled and analyzed. When the process is complete, Dr. Manasco will sit with you to review the images and point out any issues he sees. From there, he'll discuss your treatment options and what you can expect.
What Are the Advantages of Digital Dental Radiography?
Dental health professionals have relied on x-rays for more than a century to help diagnose and treat patients more effectively. With dental digital radiography, we've brought this technology to a new level, giving our providers at Eastern Shore Endodontics a more comprehensive understanding of your oral health. Digital dental x-rays also elevate our patients' experience, providing benefits that include:
- Higher image quality for more precise procedure planning
- Fast results
- Reduced radiation exposure
- Better accuracy and efficiency when diagnosing oral health concerns
Eastern Shore Endodontics Reviews
Dr Manasco called me personally to check on me that same evening.
I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Manasco and his team. The staff were so sweet and accommodating when I had to bring my young daughter with me to my consultation appointment. The environment was very clean and calming. Dr. Manasco has excellent bedside manner and did a fantastic job with my procedure. I had a root canal for internal bleaching of a tooth due to prior trauma. He and his staff explained the procedure thoroughly and it was so relaxing I could have taken a nap during it. He even called to check to see how I was doing later that evening. I highly recommend him to anyone.
Arrived, not knowing what issues I had. Everything was explained and recommendations were received well. Staff was courteous and helpful
Dr Manasco did an excellent job on my root canal. He made sure I was comfortable during the procedure. He also called me that evening to make sure everything was going well. His staff was very helpful too.
What a wonderful experience! I know many people cringe at the idea of a root canal, and the name of the procedure does not typically do any favors in comforting those in need of one. However, with Dr. Manasco and his excellent staff there is nothing to fear at all.I felt absolutely no discomfort at any time during the procedure. From the initial shot and throughout the “Root Canal” I was perfectly comfortable. The procedure was much quicker than I expected which I fully attribute to the experience of Dr. Manasco and his staff. I would encourage anybody in need of an endodontist to seek care under Dr. Manasco.Luckily his office accepts my insurance, but to be perfectly honest I would most likely use him even if I had to pay out of pocket. When it comes to dental care I don’t think you can find a more seamless experience than at Eastern Shore Endodontics.Dr. Manasco is the perfect example of a man who has mastered his craft. And for that I could not be more thankful.
