Dental Radiography (X-Rays)

Advanced Imaging for Precise Diagnosis and Treatment

We employ state-of-the-art digital radiography to deliver comprehensive oral health care. Our advanced dental X-ray systems provide a clear view beneath the surface, revealing conditions invisible to the naked eye and ensuring precisely tailored treatment plans.

What Are Dental X-Rays?

Dental X-rays (radiographs) create detailed images by passing low-level radiation through oral structures. We offer three main types:

  • Bitewing radiographs capture decay between teeth and assess fillings.
  • Periapical images show entire teeth from crown to root, highlighting infections or bone loss.
  • Panoramic scans display the whole mouth in one image, perfect for evaluating wisdom teeth, especially when a wisdom teeth X-ray is needed for surgical planning.

In some cases, a jaw scan or CBCT X-ray is recommended to assess the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), detect cysts or tumours, or plan complex oral surgeries.

Clinical Importance

Regular dental X-rays are crucial for complete oral health. They detect decay between teeth, reveal root infections before symptoms appear, and identify bone loss caused by gum disease. They’re also essential for procedures like implants or extractions, especially when assessing impacted teeth using a wisdom teeth X-ray.

Our Digital Advantage

Our practice uses cutting-edge digital technology that captures images instantly without chemical processing. This provides superior diagnostic quality with significantly less radiation than traditional film. The digital format allows us to enhance images, making subtle problems more visible and facilitating detailed patient education.

Safety Commitment

As a QIP-accredited practice, patient safety is a top priority. Our digital dental X-ray systems reduce radiation exposure by up to 90% compared to traditional film. We use protective aprons and follow strict safety protocols to obtain essential diagnostic data with minimal risk.
