Modern dental imaging allows us to diagnose with precision and plan treatments safely. We use low-radiation digital imaging and 3D CBCT scanning where clinically appropriate—giving our clinicians a complete picture before any treatment begins.
Digital X-rays
Digital radiographs provide fast, detailed views of your teeth and bone with significantly lower radiation exposure than traditional film X-rays. Images appear on screen instantly, so your dentist can explain findings with you during the same appointment.
3D CBCT scanning
For implant planning, extractions, and complex cases, CBCT scans give a three-dimensional view of your anatomy—including nerves, sinuses, and bone volume—so treatment can be planned with confidence and fewer surprises during surgery.
When imaging is used
- Routine bitewing and periapical X-rays for decay and bone levels
- Panoramic views for a full overview of teeth and jaws
- CBCT for implant placement, wisdom teeth, and surgical planning
- Pre-treatment records for cosmetic and orthodontic cases
All imaging is taken only when clinically justified. Your dentist will explain why a scan is recommended and answer any questions about radiation exposure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are dental X-rays safe?
Digital dental X-rays use very low doses of radiation. We follow national guidelines and only take images when they add clinical value.
What is the difference between X-rays and CBCT?
Standard X-rays are two-dimensional. CBCT creates a 3D model of your jaws, essential for precise surgical and implant planning.
