Dental digital x-rays provide clear images of your teeth, gums, and jaw, helping professionals diagnose dental conditions and improve their patients' health. We use modern technology to safely get to the root of your dental problems and provide effective treatment to heal your smile.
How Do Dental X-Rays Work?
Dental x-rays produce 2D images of your bone and soft oral tissue. You'll have to sit and stay still as a machine takes pictures of your mouth and jaw. These images appear in our computers, providing gray but clear shots of internal facial structures. Using this technology during emergencies or standard check-ups has several benefits, such as:
- Detecting oral problems early
- Helping deliver an accurate diagnosis
- Producing good-quality images
- Being cost-effective and safe
What Do Dental X-Rays Show?
Although not all oral problems are visible, dental x-rays are an effective tool to find hidden issues, such as:
- An abscess
- Fractures and other forms of trauma
- Internal decay
- Tumors
- Impacted teeth
- Signs of osteoporosis
Professionals also recommend taking dental x-rays as part of regular check-ups to examine your teeth, roots, nerves, gums, and jaw. Each patient is different and needs dental x-rays more or less frequently, so ask your dentist if it's time to take these digital images during your next visit.
