Digital X-Rays At Saskatoon Downtown Dentist
Some dental problems hide where you can’t see them. Cavities between teeth. Infections at the root. Bone loss that develops slowly. A standard exam can’t always pick these up — and that’s where X-rays step in. Digital imaging makes it possible to spot concerns early and plan treatment with more confidence.
When X-Rays Are Suggested
Not every visit requires X-rays. For many patients, they’re recommended every year or two. Children might need them more often, since their teeth and jaws are still changing. X-rays are also ordered if you have tooth pain, signs of infection, or before procedures like wisdom tooth removal or implant placement. In other words, the dentist will decide based on your age, history, and what’s going on in your mouth.
What The Process Looks Like
Taking a digital X-ray is quick. A small sensor is placed inside your mouth, you bite down gently, and the image shows up instantly on a screen. The dentist can enlarge the picture, adjust the view, and explain what’s happening. Instead of waiting for film to develop, you see results right away.
Why It Matters
X-rays often reveal problems before you feel them. A small cavity, a hidden crack, or early bone loss can be treated sooner — which usually means simpler care. They also guide major treatments, from Root Canals to Dental Implants.
