Periapical X-ray in Glorious Smiles & Dental Implants

About the clinic

A periapical X-ray at Glorious Smiles & Dental Implants in Houston, USA, uses digital sensors to capture detailed images of individual teeth. This diagnostic tool helps detect dental issues in their earliest stages while reducing radiation exposure by up to 90% compared to traditional film X-rays. The clinic provides instant results, allowing for immediate review during a routine dental visit.

Examination features and technology

The clinic uses digital radiography instead of traditional film to examine the teeth and surrounding bone structure. This method provides several advantages for diagnostic accuracy and patient safety:

  • Digital X-ray sensors. These produce crystal-clear images without the need for chemical developing or long wait times.
  • Image enhancement. Specialists can zoom in and adjust the contrast of digital images to inspect specific areas of concern.
  • Reduced radiation. The digital system emits significantly less radiation than older X-ray technology.
  • Immediate results. Images appear on a screen instantly for the patient and dental professional to view together.
  • On-site CBCT scanner. The facility has a cone beam computed tomography scanner if three-dimensional imaging becomes necessary.

The periapical X-ray is a quick, outpatient procedure performed during a regular dental appointment. It captures the entire tooth, from the crown to the end of the root where it anchors into the jaw. Patients do not require any sedation for this imaging process. This diagnostic step helps identify problems that are not visible to the naked eye during a physical exam. You can request a consultation for dental imaging through Bookimed to begin the process.

Glorious Smiles & Dental Implants: more details about the clinic

United States of America, Houston

Glorious Smiles Dental is a private, family-focused dental clinic in Houston, Texas. The practice serves patients of all ages, including children and seniors. It provides comprehensive oral healthcare and aesthetic transformations.

Clinical Expertise and Patient Statistics

The practice has treated over 340 patients and maintains a high satisfaction rating. Dr. Aunce Abdullah leads the clinical team as a licensed dentist in Texas. She earned her DMD from Rutgers School of Dental Medicine. Dr. Abdullah holds memberships with several major organizations:

  • American Dental Association
  • Texas Dental Association
  • Greater Houston Dental Society

Her work focuses on cosmetic dentistry, restorative care, and smile transformations.

Dental Specialties and Procedures

The clinic offers preventive, restorative, and surgical dental services. Each treatment plan addresses both function and appearance.

Cosmetic Dentistry and Smile Makeovers

The team performs smile transformations to fix stains, gaps, or misaligned teeth. Cosmetic options include:

  • Invisalign® – clear, removable aligners that straighten teeth without metal braces
  • Porcelain veneers to correct chipped or permanently discolored teeth
  • Professional and laser teeth whitening for immediate brightening
  • Teeth bonding – composite resin fixes minor chips in one visit

Bonding is done chairside and takes just one appointment.

Restorative and Implant Dentistry

Patients with damaged or missing teeth can choose from durable replacement options. Dental implants offer a permanent, natural-looking solution. When surgery isn't preferred, dental bridges fill the gaps instead. The team also crafts custom dental crowns – protective caps for cracked or severely decayed teeth. These restorations preserve the original strength and shape of natural teeth.

Pediatric and General Care

The pediatric department creates fear-free visits so children build early dental confidence. Dr. Abdullah uses a gentle approach to teach proper brushing and preventive habits. Young patients receive dental sealants – a fast, painless barrier on back molars that prevents decay.

General services for adults include ultrasonic teeth cleaning, root canal therapy, and emergency dentistry.

Technology and Diagnostic Tools

The clinic uses digital technology to improve accuracy and patient comfort. iTero Digital Scanning and CEREC Omnicam create high-resolution impressions, replacing uncomfortable traditional molds. Digital Smile Design (DSD) lets patients see computer simulations of their results before treatment begins.

For safety, DIAGNOCam detects early cavities without radiation. Digital X-rays reduce exposure further.

The STA (Single Tooth Anesthesia) system manages patient comfort. It delivers local anesthesia more precisely than traditional injections, so only the treatment area goes numb – not the whole face.

International Patient Services

Glorious Smiles Dental helps international travelers and local patients with coordinated scheduling. Staff provide support in English and Spanish. The clinic accepts financing through CareCredit and Alphaeon, so patients can pay in monthly installments. An online insurance checker helps patients verify coverage before arrival.

When I first met Dr Aunce Abdullah she was very professional and so kind. She went above and out of her way to make sure I had a great experience at her office. Everytime I visit the office I feel like a rock star because everyone is so caring. Equally as important, this is one of the most cleanest dental offices I ever been in. Kuidos to you and your staff.
