What are Dental X-Rays?
Dental X-Rays are specialized imaging tools that take pictures of your teeth, gums and bone. X-Rays are used to diagnose dental problems that can’t be seen during a regular exam. Digital X-Rays are faster, higher resolution and use much less radiation than traditional X-Rays. At Rochester Modern Dentistry we use Dental X-Rays in Rochester Hills to detect early decay, assess bone health and plan dental treatment for dental implants, root canals and other procedures. X-Rays are part of overall dental health.
Digital X-Rays are the preferred diagnostic tool for their speed and low radiation. Unlike traditional X-Rays, digital imaging allows us to take and view images quickly, making the process easy on our patients. Through digital radiography we can monitor bone loss and other subtle changes over time. With a digital sensor we get valuable information to make quick and accurate diagnoses. At our Rochester Hills dental office we believe in a thorough exam to keep your smile healthy.
