Digital X-Rays
Fast and more safe Diagnostic X-Rays
Digital x-rays, produce a high-resolution image of your teeth, bones, and surrounding soft tissues to screen for and help identify problems with the teeth, mouth, and jaw. Digital x-rays reduce radiation exposure by up to 90 percent. The images are displayed on a computer screen in a few moments for them to be reviewed by both patient and doctor. Digital x-rays are fast and environmentally friendly.
What Problems Can Dental X-Rays Detect?
In adults, dental x-rays can be used to:
- Show areas of decay that may not be visible with an oral exam,
- Identify decay occurring beneath an existing fillings
- Reveal bone loss that accompanies gum disease
- Reveal changes in the bone or in the root canal resulting from infection
- Assist in the preparation of tooth implants, braces, dentures, or other dental procedures
- Reveal abscesses (an infection at the root of a tooth or between the gum and a tooth)
- Reveal other developmental abnormalities, such as cysts and some types of tumours
In children, dental x-rays are used to:
- Watch for decay
- Determine if there is enough space in the mouth to fit all incoming teeth
- Determine if primary teeth are being lost quickly enough to allow permanent teeth to erupt properly
- Check for the development of wisdom teeth and identify if the teeth are impacted (unable to emerge through the gums)
