Types Of Dental X-Rays

Intraoral X-Rays

Bitewing X-Rays

These targeted images show upper and lower teeth aligning. They are essential for detecting decay located directly between teeth where visual examination isn’t enough.

Periapical X-Rays

This specific technique captures the entire tooth structure. We use it to identify deep root infections and assess the surrounding jaw bone health properly.

Occlusal X-Rays

These broad views capture the floor of your mouth entirely. Dentists evaluate tooth development and identify any extra teeth or issues in jaw placement.

Extraoral X-Rays

Panoramic X-Rays

Our panoramic imaging captures your full mouth structure simultaneously. It provides necessary data regarding impacted wisdom teeth and joint problems without entering the mouth.

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)

This advanced three dimensional scan measures precise bone density and nerve locations. We use this precise data for detailed dental implant surgery planning purposes.

Cephalometric Projections

Orthodontists rely on these lateral head profiles because the images clarify the relationship between your teeth and jaw to design effective brace treatments.

What To Expect During Your Dental X-Ray Appointment

Preparing For Your Safe Dental X-Ray

You will wear a lead apron to protect your body completely. We review your medical history beforehand to ensure diagnostic imaging is fully appropriate. Our staff explains the specific imaging process and answers any questions regarding the digital dental x rays required for your comprehensive dental evaluation today.

Positioning The Digital X-Ray Sensor

Our dental technician places a small digital sensor inside your mouth. You will bite gently on a sterile plastic holder to keep the sensor perfectly stable. We align the external tube exactly over the target area to ensure an accurate image is captured on the first clinical attempt.

Capturing Your Low-Radiation Dental Image

The machine emits a very brief pulse of energy to create the diagnostic record. This entire process takes less than a second per tooth section. You will hear a short beep indicating the capture is completely finished and the digital file is ready for immediate clinical dentist review.

Instant Review Of Your X-Ray Results

Your new images transmit directly to the treatment room computer monitor. The dentist evaluates these detailed files immediately with you present. We can enlarge specific sections or adjust image contrast to show you exactly where any dental concerns exist and discuss proposed solutions during the same visit.

FAQs About Dental X-Rays

Most adult patients require bitewing images once a year during their annual exam. We typically capture a full mouth series or panoramic view every three to five years to monitor your overall jaw and bone health.

Yes. The American Dental Association confirms that diagnostic imaging is completely safe during pregnancy. We always provide a lead apron with a thyroid collar to block any scattered radiation from reaching your baby.

Modern digital imaging emits a fraction of the radiation used by older film cameras. A routine set of bitewings exposes you to about 0.005 millisieverts of radiation. This equals the amount of natural background radiation you absorb from a short airplane flight.

Tooth decay and bone loss often develop silently. By the time you feel pain the infection has already reached the nerve. Early detection through imaging allows us to treat small cavities before they require complex procedures like root canals or extractions.

Bitewings are close up images showing the crowns of your upper and lower teeth to detect cavities between them. A panoramic image provides a single wide angle shot of your entire mouth including your jaw joints and nasal sinuses to identify impacted wisdom teeth or bone issues.

Most standard dental insurance plans fully cover routine preventive imaging like annual bitewings. Complex scans such as 3D imaging for implants may have partial coverage. Our administrative staff will verify your specific benefits and explain your out of pocket costs prior to your appointment.

The entire process takes less than five minutes. Our digital sensors capture images in a fraction of a second and transmit them to the computer screen instantly so there is no waiting for film to develop.

Prices vary based on the specific type of image required. Standard bitewings typically range from $50 to $150 while comprehensive panoramic or 3D scans range from $150 to $400 in the New York City area. We offer flexible payment plans for uninsured patients to ensure affordable care.

You have the right to decline any treatment. However dentists cannot legally diagnose or treat issues they cannot see. Refusing diagnostic imaging often means we cannot safely perform certain procedures or accurately identify decay hidden below your gums.

A standard cleaning does not strictly require imaging. We only take them if you are due for your annual screening or if the dentist identifies a specific concern during your visual exam that needs deeper investigation.

We will review your medical history and place a protective lead apron over your chest. Our technician will guide a small digital sensor into your mouth and ask you to bite down softly. The machine clicks briefly and the image appears immediately on the monitor next to your chair.

Esthetix Dental Spa is located at 285 Fort Washington Avenue right in the heart of Washington Heights. Our clinic provides advanced 3D imaging and complete diagnostic services to patients across upper Manhattan and the surrounding neighborhoods.
