Do any of these sound familiar?

Every patient has unique goals when it comes to their dental health, and X-rays for teeth play an essential role in achieving them. 

• Do you want straighter teeth and better alignment?
• Are you seeking improved bite and chewing function?
• Is your priority achieving a confident, aesthetic smile?
• Are you concerned about airway health and proper breathing?
• Do you want assurance that hidden issues are caught early?

A dental X-ray can provide the foundation for a personalized treatment plan. By showing what’s happening beneath the surface, they help your dentist guide you toward results that match your needs, whether it’s comfort, confidence, or long-term health. 

• Initial assessment – Your dentist will review your dental history and discuss any symptoms or concerns you may have.
• Preparation – A protective lead apron is placed to shield the rest of your body while the X-ray focuses only on the targeted area.
• Advanced imaging – Using modern digital technology, the X-ray captures detailed images of your teeth, roots, and jaw with minimal radiation exposure.
• 3D scan and diagnostics – For more complex cases, we offer 3D scans that provide highly accurate views, helping plan treatments such as implants, braces, or oral surgery.

• Review of results – Your dentist will walk you through the images, explaining what they reveal about your dental health in clear, simple terms.
• Treatment planning – The findings are used to create a customized care plan that addresses your specific needs and goals.

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.
