Advanced Digital X-ray Technology

The transition from traditional to digital x-rays represents one of the most significant advances in dental diagnostics. Our digital imaging system uses up to 90% less radiation than conventional x-rays while providing superior image quality. This technology allows us to capture detailed images instantly, enhance them for better diagnosis, and store them securely for easy comparison over time.

Comprehensive Imaging Options

Bite-wing ViewsThese x-rays show detailed images of your upper and lower teeth in a specific area, making them ideal for cavity detection between teeth and evaluating existing dental work.

Panoramic ImagingThis comprehensive view captures your entire mouth in a single image, allowing us to assess overall dental health, plan treatments, and identify potential issues that might not be visible otherwise.

Periapical ViewsThese detailed images show the entire tooth from crown to root, helping us evaluate root structure, bone levels, and identify any signs of infection or disease.
