Digital dental X-rays are used at White Oak Dental to support diagnosis, treatment planning, and ongoing monitoring of oral health. These images allow our team to view areas that are not visible during a clinical exam alone, including teeth below the surface, supporting bone, and surrounding structures.
Digital X-rays are an important diagnostic tool used as part of routine dental care and when assessing specific concerns.
Digital dental X-rays help identify and monitor a range of oral health conditions. Depending on individual needs, X-rays may be used to:
These images assist in identifying concerns early and support informed treatment planning.
Digital X-ray systems allow images to be viewed quickly on screen and shared with patients during their visit. This helps support clear communication and understanding of findings.
Compared to traditional film X-rays, digital systems typically require lower radiation exposure and eliminate the need for chemical processing. Images are stored securely in your dental record and can be compared over time to monitor changes.
X-rays are recommended when clinically appropriate and based on individual oral health needs. Our team takes time to explain why imaging may be suggested and to review findings with you during your appointment.
Digital dental X-rays are used alongside clinical examination and professional judgment to support accurate diagnosis and care planning.
