Low-radiation, high-resolution digital images that allow us to see between teeth and below the gumline for accurate diagnosis.
• Uses up to 90% less radiation than traditional film X-rays.
• Provides instant, high-definition images for faster, more accurate diagnoses.
• Helps detect hidden decay, bone loss, and cysts early.
Recommended for all new patients, and annually thereafter (or as needed) based on your specific dental health and risk factors.
A technician will place a small, comfortable digital sensor in your mouth. The image appears on our screen instantly, and we’ll use a lead apron and thyroid collar for your complete protection.
Not necessarily. Full sets are taken every 3–5 years, while "bitewings" are taken annually or as needed based on your risk factors.
Yes. The amount of radiation from a set of digital dental X-rays is less than what you receive from a short airplane flight.
Only when necessary to detect hidden issues. We use child-sized sensors and lead protection for safety.
You might need them removed if they are impacted, coming in at an awkward angle, causing pain, or creating crowding. We evaluate this using a 3D scan or X-ray.
