Digital X-Ray Q&A
What are digital X-rays?
Instead of film, digital X-rays use an electronic sensor to capture images. They produce clearer images with sharp details to help Dr. Liu see areas of your teeth, gums, and jawbone that aren’t visible during your regular dental hygiene appointments or standard exams.
These images can be enlarged, enhanced, and adjusted for contrast, allowing Dr. Liu to detect even subtle changes or early signs of dental problems and track them over time. Digital X-rays are an important tool in helping you maintain a healthy smile.
How do digital X-rays benefit my overall dental care?
With digital X-rays, Dr. Liu and the team can provide:
Earlier and more accurate diagnoses
High-resolution digital imaging makes it easier to spot cavities between teeth, bone loss, infections, and developmental issues.
More conservative treatment
With earlier detection, Dr. Liu can often prescribe simpler, less invasive, and more affordable treatments.
Better provider communication
Dr. Liu can easily show you your X-rays and go over specific areas to help you better understand your oral health and treatment options.
Comprehensive long-term monitoring
Digital files help the team track the progression of conditions like gum disease.
What can I expect during the process of getting digital X-rays?
Dr. Liu places a small digital sensor or plate in your mouth, and you bite down gently with the X-ray unit positioned beside your cheek. The image takes only a fraction of a second, and Dr. Liu can review it immediately.
She can show you the images, point out areas of concern or interest, and explain what the X-rays reveal about your oral health.
Digital dental X-rays are safer, faster, clearer, and more efficient than traditional X-rays and play a vital role in your preventive dental care. They can also help Dr. Liu plan treatments such as root canals, extractions, and dental implant restorations.
You can rely on U & I Smile to use the best technology available to catch problems early, personalize your care, and protect your long-term oral health.
