Digital X-Rays

Digital X-rays use electronic sensors instead of traditional photographic film to capture images of your teeth and jaw. The sensor captures the image and transmits it instantly to a computer, where it can be viewed, enhanced, and stored digitally.

This technology offers significant advantages over traditional film X-rays, including dramatically reduced radiation exposure, higher image quality, and instant availability of images during your appointment.

Digital X-rays are an essential diagnostic tool in orthodontic treatment. They allow our doctors to evaluate the position of teeth and roots, assess bone levels, identify impacted teeth, and plan treatment with precision.

Because the images are available instantly and can be enhanced digitally, our doctors can discuss findings with you during your appointment and explain exactly what they see. The images are stored in your digital patient file and can be easily shared with other dental providers if needed.

Digital X-rays expose patients to up to 90% less radiation than traditional film X-rays, making them significantly safer — especially for children and patients who require frequent imaging. They are also environmentally friendly, as they eliminate the need for chemical processing and film disposal.
