Utilizing the latest imaging technology, we provide detailed insights into your oral health, aiding in early detection and effective treatment planning.

Digital X-Rays are capable of revealing hidden dental structures, malignant or benign masses, bone loss, and cavities between teeth, which might not be visible with a traditional oral examination. Embracing digital technology in dental practices allows for a more accurate and thorough diagnosis.
Sedation dentistry is specifically designed to ease the fear and anxiety that can come with dental procedures. Our sedation options help patients relax, transforming what could be a stressful visit into a calm and serene experience.
One of the most significant advantages of digital X-rays is the speed at which images are produced. As soon as the X-ray is taken, the image appears on the computer screen, allowing for immediate review and discussion. This immediacy can be crucial in emergency situations or when immediate treatment decisions need to be made.
The clarity and detail that digital X-rays provide are far superior to those of traditional film X-rays. This quality is crucial for detecting early stages of decay, small cracks, and other abnormalities that might not be visible with older methods.
Digital X-Ray files can be easily stored in digital form, taking up far less physical space than film. They can also be quickly shared with other dental professionals or insurance companies, which is not only efficient but can enhance collaborative treatment planning.
Should the X-rays reveal any issues that need addressing, we will outline a detailed treatment plan, including all available options and recommendations. If no immediate concerns are identified, we will use the digital X-rays as a baseline for future comparisons.
We take care to ensure your safety with the use of a lead apron, which protects your body from radiation. You’ll be positioned so that the specific area of interest is properly aligned with our state-of-the-art digital X-ray machine.
Directly after the images are captured, they will be displayed on a computer screen. Our experienced dentists will review these images with you, pointing out any areas of concern and discussing potential treatment strategies.
Very little preparation is needed on your part. We recommend wearing loose, comfortable clothing and removing any jewelry or other metal objects that might interfere with the imaging process.
Most dental insurance plans cover digital X-rays as part of routine dental care or when necessary for diagnosis and treatment. However, it’s always a good idea to check with your specific provider for details about your coverage.
The frequency of digital X-rays depends on your dental health status and history. Generally, we recommend annual X-rays for adults for routine monitoring, with more frequent imaging necessary for those undergoing specific treatments or those with active dental issues.
Yes, digital X-rays are very safe. They use significantly less radiation than traditional film X-rays. Our advanced digital technology ensures minimal radiation exposure while providing the highest quality diagnostic images.
Absolutely! One of the major advantages of digital X-rays at Smiles of Bulverde is the immediate availability of images. This allows for a timely and efficient review and consultation directly following your X-ray.
