Digital radiography has completely changed the way we take dental X-rays. The process is faster, more convenient and more comfortable than ever before. Unlike traditional X-rays which use film, a digital sensor is utilized to take images of your teeth. It uses very little radiation compared to conventional film X-rays and does not require chemicals. High-quality images can then be viewed in real time on monitors to provide you with accurate diagnoses.

Dental X-rays can detect:

• Tooth decay
• Developmental abnormalities
• Incorrect tooth root positioning
• Abscesses
• Cysts
• Fractures
• Tumors
• Bone loss

Dental X-rays may be required when planning for certain dental treatments, such as braces, oral surgery, dental implants and root canal treatment.
