Bad breath is something that nobody wants. Beyond the nasty taste in your mouth, it’s beyond embarrassing to get close enough to someone who reacts to your bad breath.

3D X-ray imaging in dentistry has improved the way your dentist can care for your oral health. If you need a dental implant, a tooth extraction, a root canal, or other work done, 3D X-rays are able to provide more valuable information than traditional X-rays for your dentist to determine a treatment plan. In addition to displaying signs of decay or damage in the tooth, these X-rays can help the dentist get a better idea about future treatments, such as dental implants or alignments.

Teeth whitening or bleaching is a must-have for many people, at some point in their lives.
