Some dental problems can’t be seen with the naked eye. That’s where digital dental X-rays come in. At 32 Dental Village, we use low-radiation, high-definition X-rays to spot issues early so you get the care you need before minor problems become big ones.
What Are Digital X-Rays?
Digital X-rays are modern dental images that use electronic sensors instead of traditional film. They’re safer, faster, and more precise than older methods, and they help us get a complete picture of your oral health right from your first visit.
- Low radiation exposure (up to 90% less than traditional X-rays)
- Instant images that appear on our screen in seconds
- Sharper detail to help us diagnose issues early
We use these images to detect decay between teeth, bone loss, infection, impacted teeth, and more.
Why Do I Need X-Rays?
Even with the best brushing and flossing habits, problems can still develop out of sight. Digital X-rays help us find them before they cause pain or lead to more serious issues.
You might need X-rays:
- As part of your regular check-up (usually once a year)
- If you have tooth pain or swelling
- Before treatments like root canals, implants, or extractions
- To monitor developing teeth in kids and teens
We always explain why an X-ray is needed and walk you through the process.
Are They Safe?
Yes. Digital X-rays use a tiny amount of radiation, much less than what you’re exposed to naturally in daily life. Plus, we take extra steps to keep you safe, like using lead aprons and limiting exposure.
