Digital Dental X-Rays

Digital Dental X-Rays
in Houston, TX

A clearer look at what's happening beneath your teeth and gums, with very low radiation and results we explain in plain English.

What Are Dental X-Rays?

Seeing What an Exam Alone Can't Show

A dental X-ray is a quick image that lets us see what the eye can't, including what is happening under your teeth and gums. It can reveal early decay, infection, impacted teeth, and bone loss well before any of those turn into bigger, more expensive problems.

The radiation level is very low, and we use the safest approach possible for patients of all ages. Most importantly, we keep it simple: we explain what we see in plain English and only recommend the imaging you truly need.

A small sensor is positioned inside your mouth to capture each image. Each X-ray takes seconds, and we repeat until we have the views we need.
04
Step
Review Together
Our team reviews the images with you on screen and uses them to guide your care plan, so you see exactly what we see.
When We Recommend X-Rays, and Why

Problems we catch before you feel them

01
Underlying Tooth Decay
Cavities forming between teeth or beneath an existing filling, where a visual exam simply cannot reach.
02
Root Infections
Infection at the tip of a root often shows on an X-ray long before it causes noticeable pain or swelling.
03
Bone Loss
Changes in the bone supporting your teeth are one of the clearest early signals of gum disease.
04
Impacted Wisdom Teeth
Imaging shows the position and angle of teeth still below the gum, so crowding can be planned for early.

Why Choose Dentiq Dentistry for Dental X-Rays

Most patients can safely get dental X-rays, and we keep exposure low. Before we recommend any imaging, we review your medical history so we only take what you actually need and feel comfortable with. If you would rather wait, we'll tell you honestly what that means for your care.

Everything is done in-house, from routine digital X-rays to CBCT 3D scans for surgical planning, so there are no referrals out for imaging. And we review the images on screen with you, in plain English, rather than explaining a diagnosis you never got to see.
