What Are Dental Exams & Digital X-Rays?
A dental exam is a routine checkup where we evaluate your teeth, gums, and overall oral health. Paired with digital X-rays, we can see what’s happening below the surface, identifying concerns like cavities, bone loss, or hidden infections early on. Unlike traditional film, digital X-rays are faster, safer, and use significantly less radiation, all while giving us precise, detailed images to guide your care.
