Surface stains from teeth through polishing

Visual tooth decay evaluation

X-rays (Radiographs)
Dental x-rays are a primary tool for early identification of dental problems. Your Albany dentist can detect issues with x-rays before they become problems, saving you money in the long run by preventing the need for more expensive procedures or surgeries. X-rays are primarily used to detect internal tooth decay, cysts (fluid-filled sacks at the base of your teeth), tumors, impacted teeth, and teeth that are still erupting.
