X-Rays & Digital Imaging

Dental X-rays show what can't be seen in a visual exam: between teeth, below the gum line, inside teeth and in the bone.

What a consultation may cover

  • Why a particular image is needed
  • When you last had X-rays
  • Whether you might be pregnant

What to expect

A small sensor is placed in or near your mouth and an image is taken. Your dentist reviews the images with you.

Things to know

Images are one diagnostic tool. Your dentist decides which, if any, are needed based on your situation.

Questions to ask your dentist

  • What are you looking for in these images?
  • Can I see my X-rays?
