See beneath the surface, between teeth and below the gumline, for a complete picture of your oral health.
Instant results
Images appear on screen immediately, so we can walk you through what we see right away.
Lower radiation
Digital sensors use significantly less radiation than traditional film X-rays.
What is a Digital X-Ray?
A digital X-ray is an imaging scan that lets us see beneath the surface of your teeth and gums: between teeth, below the gumline, and inside the tooth root and jawbone.
It uses a digital sensor instead of traditional film, so the image appears on screen within seconds, at a lower radiation dose.
We use digital X-rays to catch issues that aren't visible during a regular exam, and to plan treatment accurately.
Your treatment, step by step.
Positioning
A small sensor is placed comfortably in your mouth to capture the area we need to see.
Capturing the image
The X-ray is taken instantly, with minimal radiation exposure.
Reviewing together
We go through the image with you on screen, explaining exactly what it shows.
Planning ahead
Any findings are factored into your treatment plan, explained clearly before we proceed.
