Seeing the unseen — with wisdom, intention, and care
At Prana Dental Integrative Wellness in Greater Boston, we use digital dental X-rays as a vital part of truly integrative oral health.
These images help us detect what can’t be seen in a visual exam — such as early cavities, bone changes, or hidden infections — and confirm that your foundation is stable before beginning any treatment.
X-rays also serve as wellness markers, helping us track your oral and systemic health over time to ensure that every treatment decision supports your whole-body well-being.
Our Philosophy: Individualized, Evidence-Based, Integrative Care
We approach every aspect of dentistry — including X-rays — with discernment, individualization, and partnership.
There’s no blanket policy here. We use an evidence-based, risk-assessment approach that considers your full story before making recommendations.
We look at:
- Your dental and medical history
- Current findings and lifestyle factors
- Any symptoms (or lack thereof)
- Your overall risk for decay, gum disease, or bone changes
This ensures your care plan is as unique as your energy.
How We Personalize Your X-Ray Schedule
- Low-risk patients — no symptoms, minimal dental work, and healthy gums — may have X-rays spaced beyond the ADA’s default annual guideline.
- Higher-risk patients — active gum disease, frequent decay, or other clinical signs — may require X-rays more frequently to keep your care safe, proactive, and informed.
We use digital, low-radiation technology for maximum clarity and minimum exposure — supporting both diagnostic precision and your overall vitality.
Our Commitment to You
Every recommendation we make is rooted in:
Current science and holistic understanding
Respect for your individuality and autonomy
Transparent, collaborative communication
At Prana Dental Integrative Wellness, our goal is to use technology wisely and intentionally, protect your long-term health, and empower you to make confident, informed choices about your care.
