Dental Radiography

Dental X-rays or dental radiography show detailed images of the teeth, bones, and soft tissues that can’t be seen from a superficial visual exam. A dental X-ray is a tool used for both diagnosis and prevention.

Types of Dental X-rays

Bitewing. This type of dental X-ray shows the upper and lower back teeth in one view.
Periapical. This provides images of the entire tooth and identifies dental issues below the gum line.
Occlusal. This type of X-ray provides images of the roof the mouth and may be used to locate foreign objects.
Panoramic. This gives a broad view of the entire mouth, including the teeth, upper and lower jaws, and sinus area.
Digital X-rays can be recorded, saved, and sent to a computer. This makes transfers of dental X-rays convenient for patients and dental offices.
