A Clearer View of Your Oral Health
What You Need to Know About Dental X-Rays.
Dental X-rays are diagnostic images that allow your dentist to see what’s invisible to the naked eye—such as cavities between teeth, bone loss, infections, or problems below the gumline. At Prime Dental, we use safe, low-radiation digital X-rays that capture high-resolution images in seconds.
These advanced X-rays help us create accurate treatment plans and monitor your oral health over time. The process is quick, comfortable, and essential for detecting early signs of dental issues before they become painful or costly to fix. Digital imaging also means less radiation exposure and faster results for you.

Precision You Can Trust
Why Dental X-Rays Are Essential for Preventive Care.
X-rays reveal what can’t be seen during a visual exam, giving your dentist a complete picture of your oral health. They help identify small cavities, hidden decay, impacted teeth, infections, and bone loss—allowing for early, conservative treatment.
Digital X-rays also make your visits more efficient. The images appear instantly on our screens, so we can review them together and explain findings in real time. With less radiation, no chemical processing, and more accurate diagnostics, digital X-rays are a vital tool for modern, safe, and effective dentistry.

Your Questions, Answered
Frequently Asked Questions.
Still curious about this treatment? Here are some of the most common questions our patients ask — and our honest, straightforward answers.
Are dental X-rays safe?
Yes, digital dental X-rays are extremely safe. They use up to 90% less radiation than traditional film X-rays. At Prime Dental, we also use protective aprons and follow strict safety protocols to minimize exposure even further.
How often do I need dental X-rays?
The frequency depends on your dental history and oral health. Most patients need X-rays once a year, while those with ongoing dental issues or high cavity risk may need them more often. Your dentist will recommend a schedule that fits your needs.
Do X-rays hurt?
Not at all. Dental X-rays are quick and painless. You might feel slight pressure from the sensor in your mouth, but it only lasts a few seconds per image.
What can dental X-rays detect?
X-rays reveal issues like tooth decay between teeth, bone loss, cysts, abscesses, infections, impacted teeth, and changes in bone structure. They also help monitor root canals, crowns, and implants for long-term success.
Can children have dental X-rays?
Yes, dental X-rays are safe and important for children. They help track jaw growth, tooth eruption, and detect potential problems early. The radiation dose is minimal and tailored for pediatric patients.
