Digital X-Rays

Digital dental X-rays are advanced imaging technology that uses electronic sensors instead of film to capture detailed images of teeth, bones, and soft tissues with up to 90% less radiation than traditional X-rays. Images appear instantly on a computer screen, allowing dentists to zoom in, enhance contrast, and identify hidden problems like cavities between teeth, bone loss, or infections.

At BK Dental, we use state-of-the-art digital X-ray technology to provide accurate diagnosis while minimizing your radiation exposure. Digital imaging is an essential tool for comprehensive dental care.

What are Digital X-Rays?

Digital X-rays use electronic sensors instead of traditional film to capture images of your teeth and jaw. The images appear instantly on a computer screen, allowing us to zoom in, adjust contrast, and identify problems with greater accuracy. This technology significantly reduces radiation exposure—up to 90% less than film X-rays—while improving diagnostic capabilities. Images can be easily stored, compared over time, and shared electronically with specialists when needed.
