Digital X-Rays

In our practice, we want to protect your smile and overall health. Because we care about patient safety, we use digital radiography instead of traditional X-rays. Digital X-rays provide detailed images of teeth and support structures. This valuable tool helps us ensure that your teeth and gums are healthy.

The Value of X-rays

Dental X-rays serve a variety of purposes, such as:

• Identifying decay developing underneath an existing filling
• Indicating possible bone loss from gum disease
• Locating damage to an existing restoration
• Revealing issues inside the root canal like nerve or death infection
• Showing areas of decay not perceptible with a visual exam

How It Works

To capture the right images, we will place a tiny sensor in your mouth. The sensor connects to the computer, which allows Dr. Salvato to share the photos with you on a chairside monitor. The process is safer, faster, and more comfortable than traditional X-rays. In fact, digital X-rays give off 90 percent less radiation.
