Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays help us see what is happening inside your teeth and below the gums. They make it easier to find problems early and keep your mouth healthy.
What This Service Is
Digital dental X-rays use low-radiation technology to capture clear images of your teeth, roots, and jaw. They help detect issues that are not visible during a regular exam, such as cavities between teeth, infections, bone loss, and the position of unerupted teeth. Digital X-rays are fast, safe, and essential for accurate diagnosis.
At Smile Avenue Dental Group, we provide Digital X-Rays backed by over 20 years of clinical dental experience. Our team focuses on safety, comfort, and long-term results, using modern technology and personalized treatment planning to help patients restore their smiles with confidence.
Digital X-rays
Digital dental X-rays allow your dentist to see areas that are not visible during a regular exam. Depending on your needs, different types of X-rays may be used. Bitewing X-rays help detect cavities between teeth, while periapical X-rays show the entire tooth, including the root and surrounding bone. A full-mouth series (FMX) is often recommended for new patients to provide a complete overview of oral health. Panoramic X-rays capture the entire jaw, sinuses, and bone structure in a single image, and in more complex cases, a CBCT scan may be used to create detailed 3D images for implant planning or advanced treatment.
