Why Digital X-Rays Matter

X-rays allow us to detect hidden issues like cavities between teeth, bone loss, infections, and impacted teeth that can’t be seen during a visual exam. Our digital imaging system provides:

• Up to 90% less radiation than traditional film X-rays

• Instant, high-resolution images

• Easier tracking of changes over time

• Enhanced diagnostic accuracy

• Digital storage for easy access and sharing

By spotting issues early, we help you avoid pain, extensive procedures, and unnecessary costs.

When Do You Need Dental X-Rays?

X-rays are typically recommended:

• During new patient exams to establish a full baseline

• Once or twice a year, to monitor dental health

• Before specific treatments like root canals, implants, or extractions

• If you're experiencing pain or swelling that needs deeper investigation

We tailor X-ray frequency to your health history, risk factors, and age, always balancing safety with clinical need.

Benefits of Digital Over Traditional X-Rays

• Lower radiation for a safer experience

• Faster results for same-day diagnosis

• Clearer images to catch problems sooner

• Eco-friendly - no chemicals or film waste

• Easier communication - we can zoom in, annotate, and share results with you in real time

Digital X-rays are especially helpful for planning complex treatments and ensuring long-term oral health.
