Dental x-rays are one of our best tools for checking out what is happening under the surface of your teeth and gums. They allow us to see all the way through your teeth and into your tooth roots to check for the earliest signs of cavities, infection, or any other kind of abnormality or damage. And since we use digital x-rays here at Jordan Elbridge Family Smiles, we are able to immediately view the clearest, sharpest images possible – we can even show them to you on the large flat-screen TVs in every exam room. This lets us share with you exactly what is happening with your oral health and lets you feel empowered to make decisions about treatment. It is a great tool for childhood dental care education as well, letting children understand the anatomy of their dentition from the inside out. Plus, because the x-rays are digital, they can be stored directly to the computer and require no chemical developers or paper – a real environmental benefit.

In addition to standard digital dental x-rays, we also have panoramic x-ray capabilities. Panoramic x-rays allow us to get a full overview of your mouth, head, and neck. It is an ideal adjunct to digital x-rays and helps us evaluate for implant placement, orthodontic needs, and wisdom teeth positioning.
