Dental X-Ray
Dental X-rays are a fundamental and essential step in planning almost all types of dental treatments. The main purpose of X-rays is to evaluate oral health and identify potential problems, including:
-
Tooth decay
-
Condition of the tooth roots
-
Bone loss or damage supporting the teeth
-
Tooth alignment within the jawbone
-
Gum health and periodontal disease
This information is crucial for dentists to develop the most appropriate and effective treatment plan for each patient.

Dental X-rays come in various types, depending on the area being examined or treated, including:
-
Periapical X-ray – Used to examine individual teeth and the surrounding supporting bone.
-
Panoramic X-ray – Provides a broad view of the teeth, jawbones, sinuses, and jaw joints.
-
Digital CBCT (Cone Beam CT Scan) Produces a three-dimensional image of the oral structures and is especially useful for planning complex treatments such as dental implants and wisdom tooth surgery.
