How Digital Radiography Improves Veterinary Care
Our digital radiography system integrates directly with your pet’s medical record, allowing our doctors to store, review, and share results securely. If a specialist consultation is needed, images can be transmitted electronically—often with expert feedback returned within hours. The ability to zoom in, adjust contrast, and analyze fine details helps our veterinarians diagnose even the smallest abnormalities accurately.
Convenient Image Access and Fast Results
Digital radiograph images can be easily copied onto CDs or shared electronically for referrals. This makes it simple for pet owners to store their pet’s medical images or share them with other clinics if needed. With fast processing and instant review, you’ll receive clear answers and a personalized treatment plan without long delays.
When Are Pet X-Rays Recommended?
Your veterinarian may recommend digital X-rays if your pet shows signs of pain, limping, difficulty breathing, or unexplained swelling. Radiography is also commonly used for dental evaluations, pre-surgical planning, or to monitor healing after injury. At TLC Animal Hospital, we use this advanced technology for both routine checkups and complex diagnostic cases.
How It Works
Schedule an Appointment
Call us at (915) 592-6200 to schedule your pet’s dental visit at TLC Animal Hospital in El Paso, TX. Our team will review your pet’s medical history and discuss any signs of dental discomfort, such as bad breath, drooling, or changes in eating habits.
Digital Dental Imaging
During your pet’s procedure, we take high-definition dental X-rays using our state-of-the-art digital radiography system. This allows us to view the teeth, roots, and jaw structures in incredible detail—revealing issues that can’t be seen during a standard oral exam.
Diagnosis & Treatment Plan
Once the images are captured, our veterinarians immediately review the results to identify hidden concerns such as infections, bone loss, or damaged roots. Based on our findings, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan to restore your pet’s oral health and comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kinds of behavior problems can you help with?
We commonly see anxiety, aggression, house soiling, destructive chewing or scratching, vocalization, reactivity toward people or other pets, fear of certain situations, and stress in newly adopted pets. Call us.
Do you prescribe medication?
When appropriate, yes. Medication or supplements can support behavior modification by helping pets feel calmer and more receptive to training. All recommendations are based on your pet’s health and test results.
Why do you need to do blood work?
Some behavior changes are caused or worsened by medical conditions like pain, metabolic disease, hormone changes or neurologic issues. Lab work helps us rule those out before starting therapy.
How soon will I see results?
Every pet is different. Some respond within a couple of weeks, while others need more time and follow-up. We will guide you on what to expect based on your pet’s diagnosis and plan.
