Why You May Need Digital Radiography

Understanding your dental health starts with accurate and thorough imaging. Digital radiography is an essential diagnostic tool that helps us detect issues not visible during a routine exam, allowing for early and effective treatment.

  • Planning for Dental Implants: Helps determine the optimal placement and evaluate surrounding structures.

  • Evaluating Root Canals: Checks root shape, infection extent, and post-treatment healing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is digital radiography?

Digital radiography is a modern form of dental X-ray that uses electronic sensors instead of traditional film. These sensors capture detailed images of your teeth, gums, and bone structures with significantly less radiation exposure.

The frequency depends on your oral health history and current needs. For most patients, bitewing X-rays are recommended once a year, while a full-mouth series may be taken every 3–5 years or as clinically indicated.

Yes. Digital radiography reduces radiation exposure by up to 90% compared to traditional film X-rays. It is a safe and essential tool for diagnosing and monitoring oral health conditions.

Digital impressions and digital radiography serve different purposes in dental care. Digital impressions use optical scanning technology to create accurate 3D models of your teeth and gums—commonly used for procedures like crowns, bridges, and aligners. Digital radiography, on the other hand, uses low-dose X-rays to capture detailed images of your teeth, roots, and jawbone, helping diagnose issues beneath the surface. Both technologies enhance precision and comfort but focus on different aspects of your dental health.

Yes. One of the advantages of digital radiography is the ability to display the images on a monitor in real-time, allowing you to see and better understand your oral health.

They help diagnose tooth decay, bone loss, infections, impacted teeth, cysts, tumors, and many other oral health concerns that are not visible to the naked eye.

Absolutely. It is especially helpful for monitoring growth and development in younger patients. Its reduced radiation makes it a safe option for kids when used appropriately.

No special preparation is required. Just let us know if you’re pregnant or have any concerns so we can take appropriate precautions.

Most dental insurance plans include coverage for routine X-rays. Our team can review your benefits and help you understand what’s included with your specific plan.

Digital X-ray images are securely stored in your electronic dental record. This makes it easy to access your history, share information with specialists, and track changes over time.
