Only the X-Rays You Need, at a Tiny Dose
Your dentist chooses each image to answer a question your exam raised, then shows it to you in seconds. Two to four bitewings deliver about 0.005 mSv; a year of natural background radiation is about 3.2 mSv. That’s one dot against 640. The ADA explains how dental x-rays are used.

FAQ
Dental x-rays: your questions, answered
Images of your teeth, roots and jawbone that show what a mirror can’t: cavities between teeth, infections at a root tip and bone loss. Digital x-rays are captured with an electronic sensor, appear on a screen in seconds and use less radiation than film.
Yes. Digital x-rays use a very low dose: two to four bitewings deliver about 0.005 mSv, against roughly 3.2 mSv of natural background radiation in a year. And only the images your exam calls for are taken.
It depends on you. Many adults with healthy teeth need bitewings every one to two years; a history of cavities or gum disease, or a new problem, calls for them sooner. Your dentist decides from your history and your exam, not a fixed calendar.
Cavities between teeth, infections at a root tip and bone loss from gum disease start without pain and can’t be seen in a mirror. X-rays find them while the fix is small.
Cavities between teeth and under old fillings, infections and abscesses, bone loss, cracked roots and impacted wisdom teeth.
A small sensor is placed in your mouth and you bite down gently. Each image takes under a second, and it appears on the chairside screen within seconds, where your dentist explains what it shows.
Yes, and please do. Recent x-rays can be sent electronically and reviewed first, so you aren’t x-rayed again without a reason.
We accept PPO plans and most carriers, and we work with your insurance to ensure you receive the maximum benefit. Without insurance, needed x-rays are included in the in-house membership plans.
