We use dental x-rays as a crucial part of your treatment as they allow our dentists to check for any disease or damage that isn’t visible to the naked eye. In other words, we’ll get the full picture of your oral health to help make the most appropriate assessment of your unique situation. Our team at Greenland Dental utilise two types of x-rays. The small x-rays check between your teeth and underneath old fillings and crowns for any potential issues. These are taken every two years to monitor and track any changes. The second type of x-ray is a full mouth x-ray (OPG for short) which we use to check bone levels, jaw joints and location of wisdom teeth. Your dentist may refer you to a nearby bulk-billing clinic to have an OPG taken so there will be no cost to you.
