Dental Radiographs in Peyton, CO

Welcome to Falcon Family Vet, where our veterinary team uses dental radiographs to see what is happening below the gumline for pets in Peyton, Falcon, and the surrounding areas.

Understanding Dental Radiographs

Dental radiographs are X-rays of your pet’s teeth and jaw. Much of each tooth sits below the gumline, where problems such as root infections, bone loss, fractured roots, and resorptive lesions cannot be seen during a regular exam.

Dental radiographs give our veterinarians a complete picture of your pet’s oral health, so we can find hidden problems and recommend the right treatment. They are taken while your pet is under anesthesia, usually during a teeth cleaning.

What to Expect: Dental Radiographs at Falcon Family Vet

Dental radiographs are a routine part of a thorough dental procedure.

Under Anesthesia

Your pet is already anesthetized for their dental procedure, so radiographs can be taken safely and quickly.

Complete Imaging

We take images of the teeth and roots to evaluate each tooth and the surrounding bone.

Careful Review

Our veterinarians review the images to identify problems that are hidden below the gumline.

Treatment Plan

We explain our findings and recommend treatment, such as extractions, if needed.

Why Dental Radiographs Are Important for Your Pet

Many dental problems are only visible on X-rays.

Finds Hidden Disease

Radiographs reveal root infections, bone loss, and other problems below the gumline.

Guides Treatment

Clear images help our veterinarians decide which teeth can be saved and which need treatment.

Confirms Complete Care

Follow-up images confirm that extractions were complete and healing is on track.

Our veterinarians may recommend dental radiographs if your pet:

  • Is scheduled for a professional teeth cleaning

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my pet need dental X-rays?

Much of each tooth is below the gumline. Dental radiographs reveal infections, bone loss, and other problems we cannot see during an exam. Call Falcon Family Vet at (719) 828-7272 to learn more.

How much do dental radiographs cost and how long do they take?

The cost depends on how many images are needed. Radiographs are usually taken during your pet’s dental procedure and add only a short time. Call (719) 828-7272 for more information.

Does my pet need anesthesia for dental radiographs?
