The most natural way to replace a missing tooth.
Digital radiography (digital x-rays) 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 on a computer. this image can be instantly viewed and enlarged helping the dentist and hygienist detect problems easier. Digital x-rays reduce radiation by 80-90% compared to the already low exposure of traditional dental x-rays.
Dental x-rays are essential, preventative, diagnostic tools that provide valuable information not visible during a regular dental exam. Dentists and dental hygienists use this information to safely and accurately detect hidden dental abnormalities and complete an accurate treatment plan. Without x-rays, problem areas may go undetected.
DENTAL X-RAYS MAY REVEAL:
Detecting and treating dental problems at an early stage can save you time, money, unnecessary discomfort, and your teeth!
We are all exposed to natural radiation in our environment. The amount of radiation exposure from a full mouth series of x-rays is equal to the amount a person receives in a single day from natural sources. Dentists take necessary precautions to limit the patient’s exposure to radiation when taking dental x-rays. These precautions include using protective apron to shield the body and using modern, digital sensors that cuts the exposure time of each x-ray down.
The elimination of impressions, temporaries, second appointments and waiting for the permanent restoration elevates the entire dental experience for both the dentist and the patient.

The need for dental x-rays depends on each patient’s individual dental health needs. your dentist and dental hygienist will recommend necessary x-rays based on the review of your medical and dental history, dental exam, signs and symptoms, age considerations, and risk for disease.
A full mouth series of x-rays good for three to five years is recommended for new patients. Bite-wing x-rays (x-rays of top and bottom teeth together) are taken at recall (check-up) visits and are recommended once a year to detect new dental problems.
Regular teeth cleanings with x-rays help us detect cavities in their earliest stages and allow us to provide conservative less costly solutions!
