Digital X-rays are a cornerstone of Veneer Lounge, reflecting our commitment to providing the highest level of care with the latest technology. Unlike traditional film X-rays, digital X-rays use a digital sensor to capture detailed images of your teeth and surrounding structures. This advanced method is faster, more comfortable and much more convenient, ensuring a seamless experience for you.

One of the key benefits of digital X-rays is their reduced radiation exposure — up to 90% less than conventional film X-rays, and less than what you are exposed to by the sun in your day-to-day life. This makes the process safer for patients, including children and those who require frequent imaging. Additionally, because digital X-rays do not require chemical processing, they are an environmentally friendly choice.

With digital X-rays, the images are available instantly. Our dentists can view these high-resolution images on monitors in the treatment room, allowing for immediate analysis and discussion with you. This not only speeds up the diagnostic process but also enhances the accuracy of our assessments and the precision of your treatments.

Digital X-rays are instrumental in diagnosing and planning treatment for a wide range of dental issues, including:

  • Cavities that are not visible during a visual exam
  • Developmental abnormalities in teeth and jaws
  • Misaligned tooth roots
  • Presence of cysts, abscesses or tumors
  • Cracks or wear in your teeth or in existing dental fillings
  • Infections within the tooth nerves
  • Signs of bone loss around the teeth

These detailed images also aid in planning and executing various treatments, such as dental implant placement, orthodontics, root canal therapy and oral surgery procedures.

Dr. Shaggy, Dr. Tania and our team are committed to using the best technology available to ensure your dental health and comfort.
