Digital X Rays

Dental x-rays are a crucial part of the examination process. When taking a digital x-ray a small sensor will be placed along side your teeth that looks like a piece of film. After the x-ray is taking, the image instantly appears on the computer screen. High-tech digital imaging provides us with detailed insight as to the health of your bone structure. These x-ray images can also help to detect cavities that may be developing between your teeth. We rely on a number of diagnostic tools to assess the condition of your existing dental work, check for signs of periodontal disease, and even oral cancer. Based upon the dentist’s professional recommendation, you will be encouraged to schedule routine checkups and cleanings in order to identify and prevent unwanted dental conditions.
