Dental Implants in Dental X-Rays

Dental X-rays play a crucial role in the dental implants treatment process. If you are a candidate for implants, you will most likely have multiple dental X-rays before, during and after the procedure to ensure the best outcome possible.

Before your implants are placed, the dental X-rays allow us to see the quality, density and amount of bone tissue at the implant site. They allow us to determine the best place to put the implant and enable us to spot the nerves, sinuses, bone depressions and arteries. By taking dental X-rays before the procedure, we are able to develop a safer and more predictable dental implants procedure. This is also a good way to see if there are any other unhealthy dental signs. X-rays may need to be taken during the procedure as well for your safety and well-being.

After the implants have been placed, we may need to continue taking X-rays to monitor the osseointegration process, or where it makes the bone whole. During this process, the implant will become integrated with the bone. We can use dental X-rays to determine the best time to complete your permanent restoration and to monitor the health of the bone and other tissues.
