Image Clarity – Better Diagnosis
Traditional film X-rays can be hard to read and may miss small dental issues. Digital X-rays provide high-resolution, enhanced images, allowing us to see tiny cavities, infections, bone loss, and other concerns with more accuracy. This helps us diagnose problems earlier and plan the best treatment for you.
Cavity Detection – Spot Decay Early
Cavities often start small and painless, making them difficult to detect during a regular exam. Digital X-rays allow us to find cavities early, even between teeth or under existing fillings, so we can treat them before they turn into bigger problems.
Bone & Root Health – Strong Foundation
Your teeth rely on healthy bones and roots for stability, but bone loss, infections, or root damage aren’t always visible during a regular exam. Digital X-rays help us evaluate bone levels, root infections, and other hidden concerns to ensure your teeth stay strong and healthy.
Orthodontic Evaluation – Precise Plan
If you’re considering braces or clear aligners, digital X-rays allow us to assess your teeth alignment, jaw positioning, and overall structure with high accuracy. This ensures a customized treatment plan that works best for your smile.
Wisdom Teeth – Identify Issues Early
Wisdom teeth don’t always grow properly, sometimes leading to impaction, infections, or crowding. Digital X-rays clearly show wisdom tooth positioning so we can determine whether extraction is needed before complications arise.
Implant Planning – Accurate & Lasting
Successful dental implants require careful planning to ensure they are placed correctly and securely. Digital X-rays allow us to assess bone density, nerve positioning, and implant fit before the procedure, ensuring a safe and long-lasting solution.
