Digital X-Rays

Digital X-Rays

Digital X-rays are a routine part of dental care, giving a clear view of what's happening beneath the gum line and inside each tooth. At Dental Office of Dr. Salm, Kanner, and Grandeau, low-radiation digital X-rays give Dr. Salm a clear, fast diagnostic picture at every checkup, helping guide treatment decisions with current, detailed images rather than guesswork.

Why Digital Imaging Matters

X-rays reveal areas a visual exam alone can't reach — between teeth, below the gumline, and inside the jawbone. They're commonly used to check for decay, monitor bone levels, assess root canal anatomy, and plan procedures like implants, extractions, or orthodontics.

What's Different About Digital X-Rays

• Lower Radiation — Digital sensors capture images using less radiation than older film-based methods.
• Faster Results — Images appear on screen right away, so there's no waiting on film processing.
• AI-Assisted Review — Overjet AI X-Ray Analysis reviews your images alongside Dr. Salm as a second set of eyes on every image.

Part of a Complete Checkup

Digital X-rays are typically paired with a comprehensive or periodic exam, an oral cancer screening, and a gum evaluation, giving a fuller picture of your oral health in a single visit. Combined with an intraoral camera, they make it easier to see and understand exactly what's being discussed chairside.
