Digital X-Rays
During your regular appointment at Smrecek Dentistry, digital X-rays will be taken of your teeth that allow Dr. Jaclyn Smrecek to detect and diagnose any potential concerns that need treatment. Our goal is to keep your smile as healthy as possible through regular checkups. Schedule your appointment with our dentist by calling 949-759-8606, to have your digital X-rays in Newport Beach, California.
Digital X-rays are an essential part of modern dental care, offering numerous benefits over traditional film X-rays. At our dental office, we prioritize your safety and comfort, which is why we use advanced digital X-ray technology to capture high-quality images of your teeth and oral structures.
Digital X-rays expose you to significantly less radiation compared to traditional X-rays, making them a safer option for both you and the environment. The process is quick and comfortable, utilizing a digital sensor instead of film. This means no more waiting for film to develop or dealing with chemicals.
Once we capture your digital X-rays, the images are instantly uploaded to our computer system. This allows our skilled dentist to promptly and accurately diagnose any dental issues and discuss your treatment options with you. Digital X-rays provide us with detailed images that can reveal a variety of conditions, including:
- Cavities, infections, tumors, cysts and abscesses
- Tooth decay between teeth
- Infections in the nerves
- Bone loss
- Developmental issues
- Periodontal disease
- The position of tooth roots
- The eruption of wisdom teeth
These high-resolution images enable us to detect problems early, plan treatments more effectively and ensure you receive the best possible care. We might use digital X-rays during routine checkups, root canal therapy, dental implant procedures or orthodontic treatments.
Using digital radiography, we can also share the images with you immediately, helping you understand your oral health better and make informed decisions about your treatment. If you have any questions or concerns about digital X-rays or would like to schedule an appointment with our dentist, please reach out to our office. Our team is here to provide you with exceptional dental care in a safe and comfortable environment.
