Dental X-rays play a vital role in your dentist being able to monitor your oral health and diagnose and treat potential problems. Dental x-rays allow your dentist to be able to see and evaluate your teeth, soft tissues of the mouth, facial/jawbones, and help them determine your overall oral health.
Safety is our upmost priority. Here at Distinctive Dentistry, we use the latest digital x-ray technology. Digital x-rays use 80-90 percent less radiation than traditional film x-rays. When utilized at the intervals that our dentists prescribe, digital x-rays are very safe and extremely effective at diagnosing problems and keeping your teeth, gums, and supporting structures healthy.

Dental implants are titanium posts that replace a tooth root. These titanium posts are surgically placed into the bone of the jaw. After they are placed, a process called osseointegration begins. During this process, the titanium implant fuses into the bone where it was placed. Osseointegration is a vital part of the long-term success of implants.
Implants can replace a single tooth or multiple teeth. They can even replace all teeth in an arch or act as connectors to hold and stabilize dentures. Once the titanium post is fused to the bone, a top portion, or crown, is added to the implant that closely resembles your natural tooth.
Dental implants can be an excellent solution for patients who have missing or compromised teeth due to trauma, deep cracks or fractures, severe decay, and periodontal disease, amongst many other situations. If you’d like to learn more about dental implants, click here:
