What Are Digital X-Rays?
Digital X-rays stand at the forefront of modern medical imaging technology. These X-rays are a digitalized version of the conventional X-ray technique, employing cutting-edge technology to capture and process images of internal structures within the human body. Unlike their traditional counterparts, digital X-rays eliminate the need for film and the cumbersome darkroom development process.

Digital X-rays are used to diagnose and treat a wide range of dental problems, including:
- Tooth decay
- Developmental abnormalities
- Improper tooth root positioning
- Cysts, abscesses and tumors
- Fractures in the teeth or in existing restorations (fillings, crowns, etc.)
- Infection

X-rays are also used in planning and providing oral surgery procedures, root canal therapy, dental implant placement, orthodontic care and many other types of treatment.
