In order to provide you with the highest quality care, it is essential for Dr. Krista Farr, Dr. Jessica Bains and Dr. Eric Mack to have a complete and accurate view of your oral health. One of the most advanced diagnostic tools we use is panoramic X-rays. Unlike traditional bitewing X-rays, which focus on a small section of your teeth, panoramic X-rays capture a full, detailed image of your entire mouth, including both dental arches, the jawbones and surrounding structures.
The Benefits of Panoramic X-Rays
Panoramic X-rays allow for a broad assessment of your oral health, helping to identify issues that may not be visible through a standard dental examination. By using this advanced imaging technology, our dentists can:
- Evaluate the need for orthodontic treatment – Panoramic X-rays provide a complete view of tooth alignment and jaw positioning, allowing us to determine whether braces or other orthodontic treatments are necessary.
- Identify impacted teeth – Wisdom teeth and other teeth that fail to emerge properly can be detected early, allowing for timely intervention.
- Assess periodontal disease – Bone loss caused by gum disease can be evaluated with panoramic imaging, helping us develop effective treatment plans.
- Examine the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) – Jaw joint disorders and irregularities can be diagnosed by analyzing the position and function of the TMJ.
- Detect oral cancer and cysts – Panoramic X-rays can reveal abnormal growths, tumors and cysts that may require further evaluation.
- Plan for dental implants – A clear image of the jawbone structure helps ensure precise implant placement for long-term success.
- Identify cavities and decay – While panoramic X-rays are not always the primary method for detecting cavities, they can help identify large areas of decay or other underlying dental issues.
- Evaluate facial and dental trauma – Injuries to the teeth and jawbones can be assessed accurately, ensuring proper treatment.

Patient Reflections
I was due for a cleaning so I made an appointment and was greeted by the staff, who treated me extremely well, which isn’t something that happens often in todays society. I had x-ray’s and a thorough cleaning. The dental hygienist, Wilceta was attentive to a pain issue and worked to ease the pain. I met with Dr Farr and was pleased to be treated so well.At no point was there an “up-sale” for service’s that occur elsewhere at other Dentist’s office. I made another appointment for next year. Without insurance the price was still affordable.

I highly recommend this office. From the minute I walked in the office i felt right at home. Jill the receptionist was very welcoming and came out with a cute little goodie bag to welcome me to the practice. The hygienist Linda came out to take me back and actually introduced me to some of the staff and showed me around the office. Had X-rays taken and teeth cleaned very throughly and then Dr.Farr came in to greet me. What a great first experience at my new dental office. I will definitely refer all my friends and family to this practice.
