Digital X-Rays/Radiographs

Home / Services /Digital X-Rays/Radiographs

Dentists use X-rays to help diagnose damage and disease that is not visible during a clinical dental exam. A new set of your X-rays may be required to assist our dentist in determining the status of your bone health, detect any new cavities, or evaluate the growth and development of your teeth. X-rays are an essential diagnostic tool that provides valuable information during your check-up.

How often X-rays, or radiographs, should be taken depends on an individual’s current oral health, age, the risk for disease, and any signs or symptoms of oral disease.
Digital radiography (digital x-ray) is the latest technology used to take dental x-rays. This technique uses an electronic sensor (instead of x-ray film) that captures and stores the digital image. This image can be instantly viewed and enlarged, helping the dentist and dental hygienist detect any problems. Digital x-rays reduce radiation by 80-90% compared to the already low exposure of traditional dental x-rays.
The ADA encourages dentists and patients to discuss dental treatment recommendations, including the need for X-rays, to make informed decisions together.
Radiation exposure associated with dentistry represents a minor contribution to the total exposure from all sources, including natural and artificial.
