X-Rays

X-rays allow us to see your roots, teeth jaw and overall facial bone structure. By doing so, we can also see any advanced periodontal disease, or even tumors and abscesses.

Some patients are concerned whether exposure to x-rays is harmful. We reassure our patients that exposure is brief and minimal. We also take safety precautions by using a lead apron to minimize exposure to radiation.

If you have any questions about x-rays, please ask us and we will be happy to discuss your concerns.
