At Smiles for Miles Dentistry, we use advanced digital X-ray technology to gain a clear and comprehensive view of your oral health—while keeping your safety and comfort top of mind. Compared to traditional imaging, our digital X-rays expose you to significantly lower radiation levels, making them a safer choice for all patients.
Why We Use Digital X-Rays
Digital imaging plays a vital role in diagnosing oral health issues, guiding treatment plans, and preventing future problems. Our state-of-the-art system produces high-quality images quickly, allowing Dr. Salm and our team to examine the teeth, roots, jawbone, sinuses, and even nerve pathways in incredible detail.
Benefits include:
- Lower radiation exposure
- Immediate image results
- Clear visualization of hard-to-see areas
- Enhanced diagnostics for precise treatment
Whether you’re visiting for a routine exam or preparing for advanced procedures like dental implants or TMJ treatment, digital X-rays help us provide the most effective and personalized care possible.
Panoramic Imaging
Our digital panoramic unit captures a wide, detailed view of your:
- Lower face and jaw
- Maxillary sinuses
- Mandible and maxilla
- Tooth alignment and root structures
- Erupted and unerupted teeth
This panoramic view is essential for evaluating jaw disorders, planning oral surgeries, and determining the correct placement for dental implants.
What X-Rays Help Us Detect
X-rays go far beyond what we can see during a visual exam. They allow us to detect underlying issues such as:
- Bone loss
- Tooth decay between teeth
- Cysts and abscesses
- Tumors (both benign and cancerous)
- Impacted or poorly positioned teeth
- Root complications
These insights empower us to take proactive steps to protect your health and ensure long-term success with your treatment plan.
Your Comfort and Safety Come First
We understand that some patients are concerned about radiation. That’s why our digital X-ray technology is designed to minimize exposure while maximizing accuracy. Every member of our knowledgeable team is trained to operate our imaging systems with care and precision.
