Diagnose Dental Issues Quickly & Easily With Digital X-Rays

At Dentistry on Taunton in Ajax and Whitby, we use digital x-rays to help our patients prioritize and protect their smiles. Enabling our team to quickly and accurately gain an in-depth understanding of your oral health condition, this diagnostic technology helps us quickly detect and, if necessary, treat developing dental issues.

How are digital X-rays taken?

A quick process that generally takes only a few minutes to complete, a small imaging device is placed in different areas of a patient’s mouth to capture images which are then displayed on a monitor screen. Our dentist examines these photos and should there be any issues found that require care, that information is communicated and a treatment plan is developed.

Which oral health issues can this technology detect?

In addition to cavities, digital x-rays also highlight signs of gum disease, jawbone density levels, wisdom teeth growth and placement, and more!

Are digital X-rays safe?

Yes! The amount of radiation used in this type of diagnostic technology is significantly lower than traditional X-rays and poses minimal risk to the patient.
