Dental X-Rays

We take them during your visit, so Dr. Susanna Zilberman can immediately see what is happening under the surface of your teeth and gums during treatment. Within seconds, an enlarged image of your teeth and jaw can be viewed on a monitor, providing a clear picture of your mouth and the state of your oral health. Our current technology exposes our patients to far less radiation when compared to traditional x-rays.

How often we take them depends on your general oral health, your age, your risk for disease and any signs or symptoms we may see during your exam. Children require x-rays more often than adults because their teeth and jaws are still developing and their teeth are more likely to be affected by tooth decay. If you are a new patient, we may recommend a dental x-ray to see how you’re doing now and to help identify changes that may occur later.

Dental x-rays can help us identify problems that otherwise would not be seen. Finding and treating those problems early can save you time, money and unnecessary discomfort later on.
