X-Rays

X-rays are a vital tool for dental hygienists.  It allows us to see the health of the the bone around teeth, the root anatomy, if there is any hidden deposit as well in addition to whether any cavities are present.

Xrays help hygienists to see root anatomy, bone levels and if there are any sneaky cavities we don’t want to disturb. We often send copies of x-rays to dentists for assessment, as needed.

 
 

  • Would recommend this amazing woman to ANYONE!

    Dianna! I don't think I would have enough space on all of Facebook to express how amazing my service was. I've never felt comfortable in a dentist chair. Its always terrified me and have gone through rough experiences, which made it quite nerve racking.

  • A Special Touch

    Dianna has a special touch when it comes to dental hygiene. I most appreciate the fact that you're not rushed in and out when you go there. She takes the time to explain what she is doing. We always have time to chat about our lives and she does an amazing job. I come away feeling well looked after. If you have someone who is a little nervous to get a check up, Dianna will put them at ease.

  • I felt so at ease.

    As soon as I walked in, I felt so at ease, and even though I hadn't gotten a cleaning in 4 years, I didn't feel pain! It was incredible. You were Extremely gentle, made sure I was comfortable at any point during the appointment, AND you did the best cleaning! I cannot wait to come see you again.

    PS: my day went great because of you

  • Fear of being in the dentists chair.

    I received a gift of dental services through Dress for Success and I can't say enough about Dianna. She was kind, thorough and understood my 'fear' of being in the dentist chair. She explained her procedures in full and was very gentle in the treatment. I have never had such a 'gentle' experience at a dentist prior to seeing Dianna. She continuously checked to make sure I was doing okay. She's very community and people oriented and her customer service skills are exceptional. She talked about her experience and was very professional. I can't speak highly enough and would gladly use her services again, and highly encourage anyone to as well. I am very grateful for heaving met Dianna and hope to use her services in the future again. Thank you, Dianna!
