Dental radiographs, also known as dental X-rays, are images of the teeth and surrounding structures that are taken to help diagnose and monitor dental conditions. They can show areas of decay, bone loss, infections, and other dental problems that may not be visible during a regular dental examination. Dental radiographs are an important tool for dentists to plan and provide appropriate treatment for their patients. Using the latest technology, we can create crisp, high-resolution images of your mouth’s structure, so we can make accurate diagnoses and treatment plans. Digital x-rays use only a fraction of the radiation as traditional film x-rays, so you can rest easy. Most patients receive one or two full sets of x-rays every year, but we may recommend additional imaging in the case of a dental emergency, or if we find an oral health issue that we need to investigate further.
