Digital Dental Radiology

Insight into underlying issues.

When pets have their teeth cleaned, we conduct an oral health assessment and provide our clients with treatment suggestions. Digital x-rays assist us in making those recommendations by giving us insight into underlying issues. 

We are extremely proud to be the first Animal Hospital in the Metropolitan area to purchase the new Light Speed Digital Dental X-ray system.

What does that mean to you and your pet? The next time that your pet has a dental scaling, we will be able to look at highly detailed images of your pet's teeth, their roots, and the surrounding bone structure. This will enable us to make the best decisions possible about the health of individual teeth.  

Thanks to digital x-rays, we can image the following parts of the mouth:

• Teeth 
• Bone 
• Joints 
• Soft tissue 

Digital radiology can also reveal problems lurking beneath the gums, such as foreign objects, cysts, and even tumors. Studies have shown that, without the help of digital x-rays, significant dental issues are missed in up to 75% of pets. 

If your pet is experiencing discomfort or pain, give us a call at (301) 645-2550.
