Most dental problems start small, and without a professional assessment, they can go unnoticed until they cause pain. With dental X-rays, you can detect issues early before they become serious, and get the insight needed to plan the best care approach for your smile.
Our general dentist, Dr. Rogers, offers walk-in, same-day dental X-rays in Northlake, near Huntersville and Charlotte, NC, as part of preventive care to protect your oral health. Many patients often ask us, “how much does it cost to get dental X-rays?” The simple answer is that costs may vary based on the type of X-rays needed. Still, we believe quality dental care should never feel out of reach. That’s why we created a simple membership plan that allows you to access timely visual exams, helping you maintain a healthy and confident smile. Schedule an appointment today!
Bite-wing X-rays capture images of upper and lower back teeth in one view. The Bite-wing X-ray helps our dentist to check for cavities between your teeth, evaluate bone levels, and ensure your existing fillings or crowns fit properly. We typically take bite-wing X-rays during your routine general dental visit, which usually takes just a few minutes.
Occlusal X-ray captures the whole arch of the upper or lower jaw. This helps our dentist detect if you have extra teeth, a jaw fracture, cysts, or any form of growth below the gum. The occlusal x-ray is often used for children as it helps track tooth development and eruption.
When a single tooth causes pain or discomfort, a periapical tooth x-ray is used to obtain the necessary detail to identify the cause. The periapical X-rays focus on one or two teeth at a time, showing the entire tooth from the crown to the root tip and the surrounding bone. With the image obtained from the X-ray, our dentist can spot deep decay, abscesses, cysts, or changes in the bone structure. This dental X-ray helps diagnose root or nerve issues before they become more severe.
The panoramic X-ray captures the entire mouth in a single image, displaying the teeth, jaws, sinuses, and joints. It gives a clear view of how everything connects, making it helpful in spotting impacted teeth, jaw issues, or planning orthodontic and implant treatments. This panoramic X-ray is often part of your initial visit or central to treatment planning, providing a comprehensive view of your oral health.
The cephalometric X-ray provides a side view of the head and jaw, helping to understand how the teeth fit within the jaw. The cephalometric X-ray is often used when planning braces, Invisalign, or other treatments to improve bite.
The cone beam CT scan gives a 3D view of the teeth, jaw, nerves, and soft tissues. It provides more detail than regular dental X-rays, helping our dentist plan advanced treatments such as implants or root canals. We utilize dental X-rays in Northlake, Charlotte, NC, to provide safe, accurate, and tailored care for every patient, identifying concerns before they cause pain or damage.
