Dental Imaging in Woollahra and Bondi Junction

 
  • Intra-oral Camera Bondi Junction

    Intra-oral Camera

    We believe seeing is an important part of understanding your dental health. Our intraoral camera captures high-quality images of your teeth and gums, allowing you to see what we see.

    These images help us explain your dental needs, discuss treatment options, and involve you in every step of your care. We also use before-and-after images to show the results of your treatment and the improvements we achieve together.

  • Dental X-Rays Woollahra

    Dental X-rays

    Digital dental X-rays allow us to identify dental problems that may not be visible during a clinical examination alone. Our digital sensors provide clear images quickly while using a very low radiation dose.

    We take a conservative approach to X-rays, with the frequency of imaging tailored to each patient’s individual needs, dental history, and risk of decay.

  • CBCT Scan and OPG Woollahra

    CBCT Scan and OPG

    Our in-house OPG and 3D CBCT scanning technology provides detailed images to support accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

    An OPG captures a comprehensive view of the upper and lower jaws, helping us monitor your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures. For cases requiring greater detail, 3D CBCT imaging provides a more comprehensive view of the teeth, jawbone, and surrounding anatomy.

 FAQs

  • Dental imaging refers to various techniques used to capture images of the teeth, jawbone, and surrounding structures for diagnostic or treatment planning purposes.

  • Dental imaging helps dentists detect and diagnose oral health issues such as cavities, gum disease, impacted teeth, and jawbone abnormalities. It also aids in treatment planning for procedures like dental implants, orthodontics, and root canals.

  • Common types of dental imaging include X-rays (periapical, bitewing, panoramic), computed tomography (CT) scans, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), and intraoral cameras.

  • Dental X-rays emit low levels of radiation and are considered safe when used appropriately. Dentists take precautions to minimise radiation exposure, such as using lead aprons and digital imaging technology.

  • The frequency of dental X-rays depends on factors such as age, oral health status, and risk of dental problems. Generally, adults may need X-rays every 1-2 years, while children and those with higher risk factors may require them more frequently.

  • CBCT is a specialised type of imaging that provides detailed 3D images of the teeth, jawbone, nerve pathways, and surrounding structures. It's often used for more complex cases requiring precise treatment planning, such as dental implants or orthodontics.

  • Yes, your dentist will review and discuss the results of your dental imaging with you. They may show you the images and explain any findings, treatment recommendations, or concerns.

  • No, dental imaging is a diagnostic tool used in conjunction with regular dental exams. While imaging provides valuable information, a comprehensive oral examination by a dentist is essential for complete oral health assessment and treatment planning.
