Digital Dental Xrays

Digital Dental Xrays

Instead of developing X-ray film in a dark room, the X-rays are sent directly to a computer and can be viewed on screen, stored, or printed out. These X-rays (radiographs) are images of your teeth used to evaluate your oral health. These X-rays are used with low levels of radiation to capture images of the interior of your teeth and gums. This can help in identifying problems, like cavities and impacted teeth.
