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.
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.

Dental radiographs are a routine part of a thorough dental procedure.
Your pet is already anesthetized for their dental procedure, so radiographs can be taken safely and quickly.
We take images of the teeth and roots to evaluate each tooth and the surrounding bone.
Our veterinarians review the images to identify problems that are hidden below the gumline.
We explain our findings and recommend treatment, such as extractions, if needed.
