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
  • Bone health changes and gum disease indicators
  • Infections, abscesses, and root concerns
  • Jaw alignment and tooth development tracking
