Yes, dental x-rays are safe, especially digital x-rays. Dr. John Chen and our team at Uptown Comprehensive Dentistry and Prosthodontics use digital radiographs and panoramic x-rays to monitor your oral health and check for underlying concerns. Digital dental x-rays are faster and safer than conventional film x-rays of the past and are more comfortable. Unlike film x-rays, digital radiographs emit considerably less radiation.
Digital Radiography and Panoramic X-Rays
With digital X-rays, taking and viewing images is easier, and the images are more detailed and precise. Dr. Chen places a comfortable mouthpiece in the patient’s mouth and captures the images, which are immediately available to view on the chairside monitor. Digital X-rays are also easy to email to insurance companies and specialists, so you don’t have to wait nearly as long for recommended treatment.
Our panoramic X-rays take a flat image of the entire mouth, providing us with a comprehensive view. Dr. Chen can see all of your upper and lower teeth, jaw joints, nasal area, and sinuses.
Digital dental x-rays and panoramic x-rays make dental care more precise, comfortable, and personalized.
