comprehensive dental exams & x-rays in Agawam & Feeding Hills, MA
Receiving your dental exams and X-rays are usually the first step towards getting dental treatment. Dentists use these tools to help diagnose any potential problems and develop a treatment plan. At Feeding Hills Dental Care, we pride ourselves on keeping our valued patients up to date with all the latest dental technology and treatments, so we can provide personalized care and healthy smiles.
What To Expect With Dental Exams and X-Rays
During a dental exam, the dentist will use a small, hand-held mirror to examine all surfaces of your teeth. They will also use a pick or other instrument to check for any decay between your teeth. Once they have completed the visual examination, they will take X-rays of your teeth. X-rays help your dentist spot problems that can't be seen with the naked eye, such as decay between your teeth, problems with your tooth roots, bone loss, impacted teeth, and more. The dentist will then share with you any findings from the X-ray images.
How Long Do Dental Exams and X-Rays Take?
The whole process, from start to finish, usually takes less than 30 minutes, which is why more often than not exam and
cleaning appointments are combined. The X-ray portion of your visit only takes a couple of minutes, during which captures will be taken from several angles. Your oral exam will only take a few minutes as well. You can expect a short discussion over what your dentist or hygienist found during the exam. The whole process is pretty quick and painless!
Does Insurance Cover Dental Exams and X-Rays?
Most dental insurance plans will cover at least one dental exam and X-ray per year. Some plans may cover additional exams and X-rays, depending on your individual needs. If you're unsure whether or not your insurance plan covers dental exams and X-rays, contact your insurance company to find out. You can also ask us any questions about cost and payment you may have, and we’ll be happy to help!
