Dental X-Rays and Benefits of Digital Radiography

Dental X-Rays are an essential diagnostic tool for dental professionals. They are crucial in helping the dentist to formulate your treatment plan. Here are answers to some common questions and concerns that you may have about dental x-rays. Dental x-rays, also called radiographs, are basically two-dimensional images that show the tooth anatomy and bone in your mouth. There are two basic types of dental X-rays: film and digital. Digital radiography uses an X-ray sensor instead of film to produce the image.Dental X-rays are either intraoral (inside the mouth) or extraoral (outside the mouth). The most common intraoral x-rays are Periapical and Bitewings. They show the fine details of the teeth and the bone structure around them. The most common extraoral x-ray is called Panoramic, and it is an image of the entire oral cavity, including the teeth, jawbones, and sinus areas.

What are dental X-rays?

Dental x-rays, also called radiographs, are basically two-dimensional images that show the tooth anatomy and bone in your mouth.  There are two basic types of dental X-rays: film and digital.  Digital radiography uses an X-ray sensor instead of film to produce the image.

They show the fine details of the teeth and the bone structure around them. The most common extraoral x-ray is called Panoramic, and it is an image of the entire oral cavity, including the teeth, jawbones, and sinus areas. Are Digital X-Rays Better? Lancaster Dental uses digital radiography only.  We believe it has many advantages over film. First and foremost, digital X-rays require less radiation exposure (approximately 50-80% less than film); this makes them safer for our clients and our staff.  They are faster, and the image can be enhanced and transferred easily if needed.
