Digital X-rays are an essential diagnostic tool in modern dentistry, designed to provide high-quality imaging with significantly less radiation than traditional film X-rays. At Mainieri Dental, we prioritize your safety and comfort by using digital X-rays to obtain detailed images of your teeth and surrounding structures. This advanced technology allows us to offer more efficient and accurate diagnoses, enhancing the overall quality of care you receive during your visit.

One of the key benefits of digital X-rays is the reduced exposure to radiation, which makes them a safer option for patients. The images are captured using a small digital sensor that is placed in your mouth, allowing our dentist and team to quickly and comfortably obtain the necessary information. Unlike traditional X-rays, which require film and chemical processing, digital X-rays offer immediate results. Once the images are captured, they are displayed on a monitor in the treatment room, giving both you and Dr. Tommy Mainieri the opportunity to review them in real-time. This also helps you gain a better understanding of your oral health and recommended treatment options so you can make an informed decision about your care.

Digital X-rays are highly versatile and are used to diagnose a wide range of dental conditions, such as:

  • Tooth decay, including cavities between teeth
  • Developmental abnormalities
  • Tooth root positioning issues
  • Cysts, abscesses and infections
  • Fractures in existing restorations
  • Bone loss due to gum disease
  • Impacted teeth

With the detailed imaging provided by digital X-rays, our dentist can plan a variety of dental treatments, including restorative procedures like fillings and crowns, root canal therapy and even dental implants. This technology plays an integral role in developing comprehensive treatment plans tailored to your needs.
