What Are Digital Dental X-rays?
Digital dental x-rays or digital dental radiographs are done as part of a dental exam to provide a more thorough picture of your teeth and gums. Dental x-rays allow Dr. Sean Melton to diagnose problems that aren't visible to the naked eye and to understand more about the health of the inside of your teeth, gums, and jaw. Many oral health conditions may be seen on digital dental x-rays, such as tooth decay, cavities, abscesses, cysts, bone loss, and tooth impaction. When these problems are discovered in the early stages, you may have more effective and less invasive treatment options. As part of your annual dental exam at Melton Dental in Helena, MT, digital dental x-rays will help Dr. Melton accurately diagnose and correct dental problems.
What Can I Expect During Dental X-rays?
Generally done at the start of your dental exam, digital dental imaging takes around 5 – 10 minutes to do. Many patients will have a set of dental x-rays to include all sections.
