Digital X-Rays
What Are Digital Dental X-Rays?
Digital dental X-rays are images that help us see what’s happening below the surface—between teeth, under existing restorations, and around roots and bone. They’re an important part of preventive care because many dental concerns start quietly. For families in the Fletcher area, having modern imaging in-office supports faster answers and more confident planning.
Why Digital X-Rays Matter
Helps Catch Problems Earlier
X-rays can reveal cavities between teeth, bone changes, and other concerns before they become obvious.
Clearer Treatment Decisions
Better visibility helps us recommend the most appropriate care, whether that’s monitoring or treatment.
Efficient, Modern Imaging
Digital images are quick to capture and easy to review together so you understand what we’re seeing.
How Often Are X-Rays Needed?
X-ray timing depends on your age, risk factors, and dental history. Some patients need images more frequently, while others may not.
We recommend imaging based on what’s clinically helpful—such as monitoring areas of concern, checking between teeth for cavities, or evaluating bone levels around teeth.
If you have questions about why we’re recommending an X-ray, we’re happy to explain. We want you to feel comfortable and informed.
