Digital X-Rays / Cone Beam 3d Imaging

Digital x-rays are an important part of preventative dental care because they allow us to see things that are not visible on the surface.

With digital x-rays, we can diagnose dental issues and treat them before they become major problems.

What Digital X-Rays are Able to Detect

  • Abscesses or Cysts
  • Bone Loss
  • Tumors (cancerous and noncancerous)
  • Developmental Abnormalities in Children
  • Poor Tooth and Root positions
  • Dental Decay
  • Impacted Wisdom Teeth

Digital Dental X-Ray Process

Taking digital x-rays is similar to traditional film x-rays. The difference being a sensor is used rather than film to capture images of your teeth. The digital sensor is connected to a computer, so when the x-ray is taken, the image is immediately available for us to view.

Panoramic x-rays are similar but will capture an image of the entire mouth instead of specific areas. Digital x-rays are painless and take just a few minutes.

Cone Beam 3D Imaging

When regular x-rays just aren’t enough, cone beam imaging allows us to create detailed, 3D images of tooth placement, dental structures, fractures, TMJ issues, and much more. Cone beam imaging is one of the most precise methods of digital x-rays. All digital x-rays use much less radiation than traditional x-ray films.

“I've always had a very good experience with Dr. Wayne and Dr. Keith over the past 15 years or so. They are also great with the kids, making them feel comfortable and turning the dentist visit into a treat rather than something they don't want to do.”
