Dental Radiographs for Pets
If your pet needs a Dental Radiograph, we understand that you want it to be performed as safely as possible. Here at Wooflands Veterinary Center, we offer the best and most up-to-date digital radiography in Farmington.
What Is a Dental Radiograph?
Digital radiology or radiography, also known as a digital X-ray, is an advanced diagnostic tool that is used to examine the internal structure of your pet’s organs or mouth. It is a non-invasive process that allows us to have a better look at your pet’s condition. With this gentle procedure, we can clearly see issues and address them quickly.
Dog and cat dental cleanings are not complete without full mouth X-rays. Though in many cases, the visible crown of the tooth may appear normal, Dental Radiographs can reveal problems with the root below. Once all of the teeth have been X-rayed, our veterinarian will review them and decide what treatment, if any, is required for each tooth. At Wooflands Veterinary Center, all dog and cat dental cleanings include full mouth radiography.
The Benefits of Dental Radiographs
- Dental Radiographs Have a Higher Image Quality Than Regular Film X-rays
- They Offer Instant Results, Allow For a Faster Diagnosis
- There Is Less Radiation Exposure Than With Film X-rays

Is Dental Radiology Painful or Harmful to My Pet?
