Digital X-Rays

Digital radiography (digital x-ray) is the latest technology used to take dental x-rays. X-rays are an essential part of any dental care treatment plan. They are diagnostic, but they can also be preventative, by helping a dentist diagnose potential oral care issues in a patient’s mouth before they become a major problem. Digital dental x-rays are essential, preventative, diagnostic tools that provide valuable information not visible during a regular dental exam.

Dental x-rays may reveal:

  • Abscesses or cysts

  • Check the health of the bony area around the tooth

  • Cancerous and non-cancerous tumors

  • Tooth and root positions

  • Find cavities between and on the teeth

  • Status of developing teeth

  • Evaluate injuries to the teeth after trauma

  • Monitor good tooth health through prevention

  • Find if teeth have bone loss or periodontal disease

  • Visualize teeth that are malposed or impacted

Detecting and treating dental problems at an early stage may save you time, money, unnecessary discomfort, and your teeth!
