Intraoral X-rays and CT Scan

Just as with humans, proper diagnosis of dental disease in pets requires x-rays. Two-thirds or more of each tooth is located below the gumline. Teeth can look completely normal on the outside, and yet have severe disease. Full-mouth radiographs are part of our standard of care. You wouldn’t let your own dentist extract your teeth or perform root canal treatment without taking x-rays – doesn’t your pet deserve the same level of care?

In addition, we can view your pet's entire head, including the teeth, jaw bones, nasal passages, and temporomandibular joints (TMJs), with our Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scanner. Cone-beam CT reveals bone loss earlier than standard dental radiographs, and the advanced software we use allows 3-dimensional viewing, providing much more information than standard, 2-dimensional radiographs can. 

Aggie Animal Dental Center was one of the first five dental specialty practices in the US (and the very first in California) to acquire CBCT imaging of every patient, and we're proud to note that it is now the standard of care in veterinary dental specialty practice across the country.
