A Clearer Look At What’s Happening In Your Smile

A dental X-ray is a quick image that helps us see what the eye can’t, like what’s happening under your teeth and gums.

It can reveal early decay, infection, impacted teeth, and bone loss before they turn into bigger 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, explain what we see in plain English, and only recommend what you truly need.

When We Recommend X-Rays, And Why.

The main reason dental X-rays matter is simple: sometimes a visual exam can’t show the full story. X-rays help us check what’s happening below the surface so we can catch problems early and keep treatment straightforward.

Here are a few things X-rays can help us see:

  • Underlying Tooth Decay
  • Root Infections
  • Bone Loss
  • Impacted Wisdom Teeth

Dental X-Rays Are Essential To Your Care

Most patients can safely get dental X-rays, and we keep exposure low. Before we recommend get any imaging, we review your medical history so we only take what you actually need and feel comfortable with.

The Dental X-Ray Process

We’ll place a protective apron over you, then position a small sensor inside your mouth to capture each image. The x-rays take just seconds, and we repeat the process until we have the views we need. After that, our team reviews the images with you and uses them to guide your care plan. Depending on your needs, we may recommend updated x-rays at regular visits to help catch problems early.
