Dental X‑Ray
Dental X-rays use advanced imaging technology to reveal areas of your teeth, roots, and jawbone that aren’t visible during a standard exam. These images help dentists identify hidden decay, bone loss, impacted teeth, and other issues early. By providing a clearer view inside your mouth, X-rays enable more accurate diagnoses and more precise treatment planning.
Types of dental x-ray
OPG X-Ray
An OPG is a panoramic X-ray of the upper and lower jaws, including the teeth.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the procedure like?
The process is quick and comfortable. A small sensor or film is placed inside your mouth while a machine takes an image of your teeth and supporting bone. The dentist reviews the image to spot any issues.
Is it safe?
Yes. Modern dental X‑ray equipment uses very low levels of radiation and protective measures like lead aprons are used to keep you safe. Digital imaging further reduces exposure compared with older methods.
Why do I need an X‑ray if my teeth feel fine?
Many dental problems develop beneath the surface without symptoms. X‑rays let your dentist detect decay between teeth, root issues, bone loss or impacted wisdom teeth early — which can save you time, discomfort and cost down the road.
How often should I have one?
It depends on your dental health, age, risk of disease and past history. Your dentist will recommend the frequency based on those factors and what the images reveal.
What happens after the X‑ray?
Your dentist will review the images with you, explain any findings, and suggest any necessary treatments or monitoring. If everything looks good, you’ll continue with your regular check‑up schedule; if not, further action can be taken promptly.
