At Capital Veterinary Hospital, full-mouth dental radiography is an essential part of diagnosing and treating dental conditions properly. While a clinical exam can detect visible problems, dental X-rays reveal what’s happening below the gumline, where many issues remain hidden.
Why we do Dental Radiography for pets
- Reveal up to 40% more pathology than a clinical exam alone
- Guide accurate diagnosis and treatment planning
- Document your pet’s dental health for future comparisons
- Provide valuable education and peace of mind for owners
- Form an important part of your pet’s legal medical record
Dental radiographs help us detect infections, bone loss, root problems, and hidden disease early—often before they cause pain or become serious.
When We Recommend Dental Radiography
- First-time dental patients
- Significant changes since the last visit
- Before major dental procedures like extractions or surgery
- Ongoing monitoring of chronic dental conditions
By using modern imaging technology, we can make more informed decisions and ensure your pet receives the safest, most effective care.
