Dental X-Ray

Dental Radiographs

Dental radiographs, also known as dental X-rays, are diagnostic images that show the internal structures of your teeth and surrounding tissues. At ArtLife Dental Studio, we use advanced technology to provide the best dental services. Our X-rays reveal important information about tooth decay, bone loss, gum disease, dental infections, and other dental conditions that cannot be seen during a visual examination.

Types of Dental X-rays:

Periapical Radiograph

Taken for the evaluation of a few teeth or during treatments.

OPG

Required for an overall evaluation of all the teeth.

Lateral Cephalogram

Required for orthodontic treatments, such as braces.

CBCT

Taken for dental implants to study bone level and density.

FAQs:

Dental radiographs are crucial for an accurate diagnosis and treatment planning, providing insights that visual exams alone cannot.

Yes, dental radiographs are safe when performed by trained professionals using modern digital X-ray technology. We take special precautions, such as using lead aprons and thyroid collars, to minimize exposure.

The amount of radiation exposure received from dental X-rays is quite low and well below the maximum this type of technology produces. The frequency with which dental radiographs should be performed depends on your individual dental health needs and risk factors. For most patients, dental X-rays are recommended every 6–12 months at routine dental checkups; others may need to have them more frequently or less often based on their dental history and current oral health status.
