Digital Dental X-Rays in Anaheim, CA

At Dentist of Anaheim, we’re proud to offer digital X-rays, the latest in diagnostic imaging. This technology allows us to capture high-quality images of your teeth and jaw with less radiation exposure and faster results than traditional X-rays. Our digital X-ray system helps us detect issues early, plan treatments with more precision, and keep your dental care as comfortable and effective as possible.

Why Digital X-Rays Matter

Digital X-rays are one of the most important diagnostic tools in modern dentistry. They help us see what’s going on below the surface, catching cavities between teeth, checking for signs of infection or bone loss, and evaluating the health of your roots and jawbone.

Unlike traditional X-ray methods, digital imaging uses less radiation (up to 90% less) which makes it safer for our patients. They provide immediate images on a screen, so we can walk you through your dental health in real-time. Plus, digital files make it easy to share information with specialists or insurance providers if needed.

What Can Digital X-Rays Detect?

We use digital X-rays to check for:

Cavities between teeth
Bone loss around the gums
Infections at the root
Impacted or unerupted teeth
Problems with jaw alignment

Because the images are so clear, we can spot issues early, before they become painful or more difficult to treat.

Types of Digital X-Rays

There are two main categories which are intraoral and extraoral X-rays. Each type gives us a unique view of your teeth, gums, jaw, or skull to help us with diagnosis and treatment.

Intraoral X-Rays
These are the most common type of dental X-rays. They provide detailed images from inside the mouth, allowing us to closely examine your teeth and surrounding bone.

Bitewing X-Rays
These images are taken while you gently bite on a small sensor, helping us check for cavities between teeth and monitor bone levels around the roots.
Periapical X-Rays
Periapical x-rays focus on one or two teeth at a time, showing the entire tooth from crown to root. They’re especially helpful for spotting infections, abscesses, or changes in the surrounding bone.
Occlusal X-Rays
Used mostly in children, occlusal X-rays capture the entire arch of the upper or lower jaw. They help us evaluate how the teeth are developing and check for teeth that haven’t yet emerged.

Extraoral X-Rays
These images are taken from outside the mouth to show a wider view of the jaw, skull, and surrounding structures.

Panoramic X-Rays
A panoramic scan creates a full-picture view of your mouth, including all teeth, the upper and lower jaws, and nearby structures. It’s useful for detecting impacted teeth, planning extractions, or evaluating jaw issues.
Cephalometric X-Rays
These profile-view X-rays are commonly used in orthodontics. They help assess how your teeth relate to your jaw and facial structure, especially when planning braces or aligners.

Are digital X-rays safe?

Yes! Digital X-rays emit significantly less radiation than traditional film X-rays, making them a safer option for both adults and children. Rest assured, our team takes all the necessary precautions to ensure your safety at every stage of your visit, including during X-rays.
