Diagnostic imaging is a powerful tool that plays a pivotal role in oral care for animals. It provides veterinarians with a detailed view of structures that are hidden to the naked eye.
Dental X-rays are essential in modern veterinary dentistry. Intra-oral radiographs offer clear views of the tooth, pulp and surrounding structures, aiding in the diagnosis of issues that could otherwise go undetected.
We use digital radiography systems for easy image display, manipulation and enlargement on computer screens. This technology enhances diagnostic accuracy and safety by using lower doses of X-rays compared to traditional methods.
Diagnostic imaging plays a key role in identifying and evaluating various dental conditions, including:
CT scans are necessary for a thorough examination of the anatomical structures surrounding the teeth. This advanced imaging technique provides detailed views of the head, including muscles, soft tissues, bones and joints.
Although CT scans take more time than standard dental X-rays, they offer crucial insights into complex conditions such as jaw fractures, Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders and oral cancers.
Having on-site CT scans improves our diagnostic capabilities and provides routine access to detailed imaging. This allows us to handle complex cases with greater precision and understanding as part of our regular procedures.
