We also use x-rays to see the bone level, whether there are any infections at the tips of the roots and whether the bone itself looks healthy. We offer digital x-rays, which deliver up to 90% less radiation than regular x-rays. We base the frequency of x-rays on each individual need.
- Full Mouth Series: a comprehensive set of x-rays taken usually every 5 years. These show the tips of the roots, bone levels, potential pathology, and the teeth.
- Bitewings: this is a set of 4-7 x-rays checking for cavities and bone levels, recommended usually once a year.
