Dental x-rays, which are also called radiographs, are pretty straightforward. The process usually takes a few minutes. Your dentist will ask you to bite into something and the filming process will start. The x-ray film will be available minutes after you've undergone the procedure. It's painless and easy so there's nothing to be scared about.

• Bitewing – this will help the dentist to spot any cavities and see how your teeth align.
• Periapical – this x-ray “focuses” on two teeth, highlighting your whole teeth from the top to the bottom of the roots and everything in between.
• Panoramic – this type of x-ray is taken to capture an image of your entire mouth. It is commonly performed by an oral surgeon or cosmetic dentist to use it in planning the treatment of patients for dental implants, dentures, braces, Invisalign, and extractions.

• Occlusal – is the flat map view of your teeth. This is the most common type of x-ray as this is usually performed during annual dental visits.
• CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) - is a 3D x-ray image of your jaws and teeth. This is usually performed for the assessment of Dental Implants, Bone Grafts, and diagnosis of Root Canals, Fractures, etc.
