Seeing the Unseen with Precision & Safety

At Meadowbrook Dental Care, we believe that accurate diagnosis is the foundation of great dentistry. That is why we have eliminated traditional film radiography in favor of advanced Digital X-rays.

Unlike standard X-rays, digital sensors are highly sensitive, allowing us to capture detailed views of your teeth, bone levels, and jaw structure with a fraction of the radiation exposure. This technology allows us to see "between the teeth" and beneath the gum line, identifying hidden issues like early cavities, bone loss, or infections before they become painful or expensive problems.

Co-Diagnosis: You See What We See

The days of holding a tiny piece of film up to a light box are over. With Digital X-Rays, the images appear instantly on the chairside monitor right in front of you.

This technology empowers you to be an active partner in your healthcare. Our doctors can zoom in, adjust contrast, and color-code the image to show you exactly what is happening in your mouth. Whether it is a small cavity or a healthy root structure, we walk you through the visuals so you can make informed, confident decisions about your treatment plan with full transparency.

FAQs

Are digital X-rays safe?

Yes, they are extremely safe. Digital radiography reduces radiation exposure by up to 90% compared to traditional film X-rays. In fact, the amount of radiation from a set of digital dental X-rays is often less than what you are exposed to during a routine flight or a day in the sun.

How often do I need X-rays taken?

It depends on your individual oral health. For most healthy patients, we update "bitewing" X-rays once a year to check for cavities between teeth. A full-mouth series is usually taken every 3–5 years. We customize the frequency based on your history and risk factors.

Are the sensors uncomfortable?

We use modern, ergonomic sensors with rounded corners that are designed to be much more comfortable than the sharp cardboard tabs used in the past. The process is quick, taking only seconds to capture the image.

Why can’t the dentist just look in my mouth without X-rays?

A visual exam only allows us to see the outer surfaces of your teeth and gums, about one-third of your oral anatomy. X-rays are the only way to see between tight contacts, inside the tooth root, and the bone level underneath the gums, which is where many serious dental issues start.
