Digital radiography is a safe, efficient, and essential part of comprehensive preventive and restorative dental care.

What Are Digital X-Rays?

Digital X-rays use electronic sensors to capture detailed images of your teeth and supporting structures almost instantly, allowing our team to evaluate your oral health quickly and accurately.

These images can reveal concerns that may not be visible during a routine exam, including cavities, bone loss, infections, impacted teeth, fractures, and other abnormalities. Images can also be enlarged and enhanced for greater diagnostic precision, helping us identify concerns early and plan appropriate treatment.

Digital X-rays offer several advantages over traditional film X-rays, including:

  • Fast image capture and viewing
  • Enhanced image quality
  • Improved diagnostic accuracy
  • Reduced radiation exposure
  • Comfortable imaging
  • Environmentally friendly technology

CBCT (3D) Technology

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) provides detailed 3D images of your teeth, jawbone, nerves, and surrounding structures. This advanced imaging gives our team a more complete view of your oral health than traditional dental X-rays.

CBCT imaging can be especially helpful for dental implant planning, evaluating impacted teeth, identifying infections, and assessing other complex dental concerns with greater precision.

Digital Scanning with CEREC Primescan

CEREC Primescan allows us to create highly detailed digital impressions of your teeth and gums without traditional impression materials. A small handheld scanner quickly captures images to create an accurate 3D model of your smile.

These digital scans provide a more comfortable patient experience and can be used to plan crowns, onlays, and other restorations with greater precision.

How Often Are Dental X-Rays Needed?

The frequency of dental X-rays varies depending on your age, oral health history, risk factors, and current dental needs. Some patients may require X-rays more frequently, while others may need them less often.

During your visit, Dr. Gapstur and Dr. Sifrig will determine the appropriate imaging schedule based on your individual circumstances and overall oral health.

Digital X-Rays and Preventive Care

Digital X-rays play an important role in preventive dentistry by helping us monitor changes in your oral health over time. Combined with routine dental exams and professional cleanings, digital imaging allows us to detect problems early and protect your smile before more extensive treatment becomes necessary.

Our goal is to help patients maintain healthy teeth and gums through proactive, personalized dental care.
