Safe, Precise Diagnostics for Growing Smiles
Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of excellent dental care — but when it comes to children and teens, safety and comfort must come first. At Dentistry for Children and Teens, we’ve invested in advanced imaging tools that are gentle, fast, and incredibly precise, so your child receives the information they need with the lowest radiation exposure possible.
Unlike many general practices or corporate dental offices, our imaging protocols are specifically designed for pediatric and adolescent care, with a focus on developmental tracking, orthodontic planning, and surgical safety.
What Makes Our Imaging Different?
We provide a full suite of in-house dental imaging technology, so your child’s entire diagnostic process stays within the same trusted team. Our equipment is selected not just for accuracy, but for efficiency, comfort, and safety — especially for young patients who may be anxious or unable to sit still.
Here’s what we offer:
Digital X-Rays
Digital radiography provides high-resolution images with up to 90% less radiation than traditional film X-rays. These are used to monitor cavities, bone levels, tooth development, and more — all while keeping exposure minimal.
- Instant images for faster diagnosis
- Environmentally friendly
- Safe for routine checkups, even in young children
Panoramic X-Rays
Panoramic imaging captures the entire upper and lower jaw in one image, allowing our team to evaluate:
- Wisdom teeth development
- Jaw alignment
- Missing or extra teeth
- Orthodontic growth patterns
- Impactions or cysts
We use this technology during Orthodontic evaluations, Wisdom Teeth Removal, and complex treatment planning for teens and young adults.
Nomad Handheld X-Ray System
For our youngest or most anxious patients, the Nomad handheld X-ray allows our assistant to stay directly next to the child during imaging — helping them feel safe and supported.
- Child-friendly and compact
- Great for first-time visits and special needs care
- Faster and more flexible than wall-mounted X-ray systems
This technology plays a key role in our approach to Special Needs Dentistry, where minimizing sensory stress is essential.
Why Imaging Matters for Pediatric and Teen Care
Each stage of childhood and adolescence presents different diagnostic needs. From tracking erupting molars to evaluating bone growth before braces or surgery, our imaging tools help us:
- Detect issues early — before they become painful or complex
- Monitor tooth eruption patterns and spacing
- Plan safe, successful extractions or Sedation Dentistry cases
- Coordinate in-house treatment across pediatric, orthodontic, and surgical care
Because our team includes board-certified specialists in Oral Surgery, Pediatric Dentistry, and Orthodontics, these images are read and interpreted by experts — not outsourced or rushed.
Designed for a Conservative, PPO-Focused Practice
As a private PPO practice, we’re able to offer longer appointments and high-quality imaging without shortcuts or upcharges. Our philosophy is:
No overtreatment — only what your child truly needs
High-end diagnostic technology that supports conservative care
Time to explain findings and treatment plans clearly with families
