Digital X-Rays
Instant, high-detail images with up to 90% less radiation than traditional film.
Digital X-rays let us see what’s happening below the surface (between teeth, in the roots, and in the surrounding bone) using a small electronic sensor instead of film. Images appear on screen instantly and require dramatically less radiation than conventional X-rays.

How digital X-rays work
Rather than exposing and developing film, a small digital sensor captures the image and sends it straight to the monitor in your treatment room. We can enhance, zoom, and review it with you immediately: no waiting, no chemicals, and no film to store.
How patients benefit
- Up to 90% less radiation than traditional film X-rays.
- Instant images: no developing time, so visits move faster.
- Sharper detail we can enlarge to catch problems early.
- See your own X-rays on screen for clearer explanations.
- Eco-friendly: no film or developing chemicals.
A safer approach to X-rays
Because digital sensors are so sensitive, they need only a fraction of the radiation of older film systems. Combined with protective shielding and taking X-rays only when clinically needed, this keeps your exposure extremely low while still giving us the detail we need to protect your health.
Part of every thorough exam
Digital X-rays work hand in hand with your routine cleanings and exams, helping us catch cavities, bone loss, and other issues long before they become painful or costly.
FAQs
Are digital X-rays safe?
Yes. Digital X-rays use up to 90% less radiation than traditional film X-rays, and we use protective shielding and take them only when clinically needed.
How often do I need dental X-rays?
It depends on your individual needs and risk factors. We take X-rays only when they will meaningfully help your diagnosis and care.
Why are digital X-rays better than film?
They require far less radiation, appear instantly on screen, can be enhanced for earlier detection, and use no developing chemicals.
Can I see my own X-rays?
Absolutely. Digital images appear on the monitor in your room so we can review them together and explain what we see.
