At our Middletown, NJ dental practice, we believe that exceptional care starts with clear, accurate diagnostics—and digital radiography is one of the tools that help us deliver exactly that. Dr. Jay Gohel and our experienced team use state-of-the-art imaging technology to gain a complete understanding of your oral health while minimizing discomfort and exposure. Our commitment to advanced, patient-focused care is reflected in every diagnostic step we take. From the moment you walk in, you’ll notice our emphasis on precision, efficiency, and your personal comfort.
Digital radiography offers a faster, safer, and more detailed alternative to traditional X-rays, helping us detect issues earlier and plan treatments more effectively. With significantly reduced radiation exposure and immediate image capture, it allows us to share clear visuals with you chairside—so you stay informed and confident in your care decisions. We use these high-quality images to guide treatments ranging from routine exams to complex restorations, ensuring no detail is missed. At every visit, our team takes the time to explain your imaging results and answer your questions, making your experience both educational and empowering. By integrating advanced diagnostics with a compassionate, personalized approach, we help you achieve lasting oral health with greater peace of mind.
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. Whether you’re coming in for a routine check-up or more complex care, digital X-rays provide a critical foundation for planning and maintaining your oral health.
It’s often recommended in the following situations:
Digital radiography replaces traditional film X-rays with advanced digital sensors that produce high-resolution images almost instantly. These images are crucial in diagnosing dental conditions early, accurately, and with minimal patient discomfort. By combining clarity with convenience, digital X-rays support faster, safer, and more effective dental care.
The benefits of digital radiography include:
Digital radiography offers several imaging options, each suited for specific diagnostic tasks. The type of X-ray we use depends on your dental history, current symptoms, and treatment goals. Our team selects the most appropriate type to provide the clearest insight with the least exposure.
Common options include:
Each X-ray is carefully tailored to support your diagnosis while ensuring your comfort and safety. We use this technology to guide your care with confidence, precision, and a focus on long-term dental wellness.
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.
I hadn’t been to a dentist in 12 years. I’m not proud of it, but the fear was real. Dr. Heering was the first dentist who didn’t dismiss it. He offered sedation and took time to explain everything before we even got started. I cried in the chair — not from pain, but because I finally felt safe. If dental anxiety is holding you back, this is the place to go. Don’t wait like I did.
I came in for a second opinion about getting implants. Dr. Gohel didn’t try to sell me anything. He showed me the X-rays, explained my options in plain English, and told me what he'd do if he were in my shoes. That kind of honesty is rare. I decided to move forward with the implants and haven’t looked back. Chewing feels normal again — like I got part of my life back.
My wisdom teeth were impacted and infected. I was in so much pain I couldn’t eat or sleep. Dr. Condello got me in the next morning and walked me through everything. The sedation worked like a charm, and he even called to check on me later that night. It wasn’t fun, obviously, but they turned what could’ve been a nightmare into a manageable, respectful experience.
I used to be the ‘closed-mouth smile’ girl in every picture. My front teeth were uneven and a little discolored, and I hated them. Dr. Gohel recommended veneers and showed me a mockup of what they could look like. The process was surprisingly easy, and now? I’m obsessed. My smile looks like it belongs in a toothpaste commercial. I wish I’d done this years ago.
Our whole family goes here — me, my wife, and our two daughters. Dr. Heering is great at making kids feel comfortable without dumbing things down. My girls actually look forward to going. And for me, it’s the peace of mind knowing we’re all getting top-level care in one place. You don’t get that often.
I cracked a molar on a piece of popcorn Friday night — sharp pain, couldn’t chew. Called the office Saturday morning and they told me to come right in. Dr. Condello patched it up quickly and got me a plan for a crown. They saved my weekend, honestly.
I’m a tech nerd, so I was fascinated watching the scanner make a 3D map of my mouth in real time. No trays, no mess, and I could see the image on the screen. Dr. Gohel used it to fit my crown and it was perfect on the first try. Dentistry has come a long way!
I’ve done whitening kits at home and always ended up with those sharp zaps of pain in my teeth. Not here. Dr. Heering used something gentler, and the results were still amazing. Zero sensitivity. 10/10.
I came in for a regular cleaning, and Dr. Gohel offered a screening because I mentioned my dad had oral cancer. He found a small patch on the side of my tongue and referred me to a specialist just to be safe. Thankfully it was nothing, but I had no idea dentists even did that. It really changed how I see dental visits — it’s not just teeth.
I lost most of my teeth years ago due to poor dental habits and some health issues. I’d been hiding my mouth and relying on loose-fitting dentures. Dr. Condello suggested All-on-4, and I wasn’t sure I could afford it, but we worked out a plan. The surgery went smoothly, and now I feel like a new man. I eat better, smile more, and honestly feel more like myself again. It was worth every penny.
I’ve been coming here for over 15 years — even after moving 45 minutes away. That should tell you everything. The staff is warm, the dentists are brilliant, and they’ve kept my smile healthy through every stage of life.
We started coming here when our son needed his first cleaning. Now he’s in college, and we’re all still patients. They remember your name, they ask about your life — it doesn’t feel like an appointment, it feels like catching up with people who genuinely care.
I used to dread dental visits. But this team is kind, patient, and actually fun to talk to. Everyone — from the front desk to the hygienists to the doctors — treats you like a human, not a number. That makes all the difference.
My daughter never liked the dentist — until we switched here. Now she actually reminds me when it’s time to schedule her cleanings. That’s how good they are.
I appreciate how respectful they are of my time. I’ve never waited more than five minutes past my appointment, and they explain everything upfront. No hidden fees, no pressure, just quality care every time.
Dr. Gohel has been my dentist since I was in my twenties. I’m in my fifties now. Through moves, pregnancies, and one very stubborn root canal, I’ve never once considered going elsewhere.
I was tired of hearing horror stories from my husband’s dentist, so I finally convinced him to come here. Now we both go, and he tells everyone he wishes he’d switched years ago.
The office is spotless, the chairs are comfortable, and the tech they use is top-notch. You can tell they invest in quality, and it makes the whole experience feel more professional.
Not just my name — they remember my dog’s name, my last vacation, the fact that I was nervous about getting a crown a year ago. It’s personal here. That matters.
From the moment you walk in, they make you feel at ease. The front desk is efficient, the hygienists are gentle but thorough, and the dentists are down-to-earth. It’s the kind of place you actually look forward to visiting.
Good vibes, skilled doctors, zero stress. I’ve sent five coworkers here and all of them had the same reaction: ‘Why didn’t I find this place sooner?’
I came in years ago with a mess of dental problems and a lot of embarrassment. The team never judged, just helped me fix things one step at a time. I’m proud of my smile now — and they’re a big reason why.
I had bounced around from dentist to dentist before finding this office. That was ten years ago. Now I can’t imagine going anywhere else. They earned my trust and loyalty.
