What Are Digital X-Rays?

Safer Than Traditional Film

Digital X-rays reduce a patient's radiation exposure by 90 percent compared with traditional film. The technology uses very low levels of radiation, and safety is our first priority when choosing the equipment we use.

A sensor or scanner placed in your mouth captures images of your teeth and jaw, and computer technology displays them instantly. You can view them in the exam room during your appointment, right alongside your dentist.

How Digital X-Rays Work

Images on screen before you sit up

No waiting for film to develop, and nothing leaves the room. Here's the sequence.

01
Step
Sensor or Scanner
A small sensor or digital scanner is placed in your mouth. Which one we use depends on the type of image needed.
02
Step
The Image Is Captured
Pictures of your teeth and mouth go straight to our computer software, with no film and no developing time.
03
Step
Reviewed Together
Images appear immediately in the exam room, and you review them alongside your dentist rather than hearing a summary later.
04
Step
A Plan If One Is Needed
If treatment is required, we build a customized plan around what the images actually show.
Types of Digital X-Rays

Different views for different questions

01
Bite Wing X-Rays
You bite down on a sensor. These detect decay between teeth, evaluate the jaw bone, and check existing restorations.
02
Periapical X-Rays
The entire tooth from top to bottom, including the root. Used to find infection or an abscess, and to detect bone loss.
03
Panoramic X-Rays
A machine rotates around your head to image the entire mouth. We use these to monitor wisdom teeth and plan implants.
04
Only When Necessary
Frequency depends on your needs. We take an image only if it's genuinely required, and always with your consent.

Why X-Rays Matter

Seeing Past the Surface

An exam shows only the surface of your teeth and gums. These are the other ways we look deeper.

Cone Beam CT Scan

A full 3D view of bone, nerves, and sinuses, used when we're planning surgery rather than checking for decay.

Intra-Oral Camera

Magnifies tooth surfaces on screen, catching cracks and chips that an X-ray won't necessarily reveal.
