Digital X-Rays
Digital radiographs, commonly known as x-rays, are a vital diagnostic and assessment tool in dentistry. At MyDentist, we use modern digital x-rays to support accurate diagnosis, efficient treatment planning, and a smoother patient experience.
Digital X-Rays at MyDentist
Digital x-ray technology offers a safer and more efficient approach to capturing dental images. Compared to traditional film methods, digital x-rays can reduce exposure and provide instant results, allowing our team to review and discuss findings with you quickly.
Understanding Digital X-Rays
Dental x-rays are an essential part of preventive dental care. They help us see what is not visible during a standard exam, such as early cavities, bone changes, tooth positioning, and other concerns that may develop beneath the surface.
Digital imaging allows our team to capture clear images efficiently and review them in real time. This supports better communication, improved continuity of care, and a more confident treatment experience.
- Early tooth decay and hidden cavities
