Dental Radiography

Digital Dental X-rays

If your horse needs a dental X-ray, we understand that you want it to be performed as safely as possible. Here at Southern Crescent Equine Services, we offer the best and most up-to-date digital radiography in Newnan.

‍What is a Digital X-ray?‍

Digital radiology or radiography, also known as a digital X-ray, is an advanced diagnostic tool that is mainly used to virtually see your horse's skeletal structures and tooth roots. It is a non-invasive process that allows us to have a better look at your Horse's condition. With this gentle procedure, we can clearly see issues and address them quickly.

Horse dental cleanings are not complete without full skull X-rays. Though in many cases, the visible crown of the tooth may appear normal, X-rays 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 Southern Crescent Equine Services, all equine dental cleanings include full skull & tooth root X-rays. If you would like more information about our dental X-ray services, please call us at (770) 252-6860 or text us at (229) 536-5174.

The Benefits of Digital Vet X-Rays:

• Digital X-rays 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
• Digital Radiography Is Environmentally Friendly

Is Dental Radiology Painful or Harmful to My Horse?

X-rays are a completely painless procedure. If your horse is calm and cooperative, we will not even need to sedate them. If they have anxiety issues, a sedative may be administered to allow them to relax. X-rays are safer than ever for horses and humans alike, with minimal exposure to radiation, which is completely harmless.

Southern Crescent Equine Services is aware that when your horse needs a digital X-ray, you may be concerned, but rest assured that they are in good hands. Because of incredible advancements in technology, you don’t have to wonder whether you are doing what is best for your animal when you bring them into our animal hospital in Newnan for a digital X-ray.
