X-rays, or radiographs, enable your dentist to view between and inside your teeth. They are crucial because they provide a complete picture of your oral health. X-rays allow your dentist to assess the condition of your teeth, as well as the roots, jaw alignment, and the structure of your facial bones. This helps in identifying and treating dental issues early, before they become more serious or advanced.

What do dental X-Rays show?

• Small areas of decay between teeth
• Decay beneath fillings
• Cysts and other types of tumors
• Bone loss in the jaw due to periodontal disease
• The position of teeth to determine what kind of tooth implant, braces, or dentures are require abscesses
