Advanced Digital Dental X-Rays
Fast, precise imaging with significantly less radiation for safer, smarter dental care.
See What the Naked Eye Cannot
Digital dental X-rays allow us to see what the naked eye cannot. At Y2K Dentistry, we use advanced digital imaging technology to detect hidden dental problems early — before they become painful or expensive to treat.
Compared to traditional film X-rays, digital X-rays are faster, safer, and more detailed. Images appear instantly on screen, allowing us to explain findings clearly and create accurate treatment plans tailored to your needs.
See Beneath the Surface
Many dental problems develop below the gumline or inside the tooth, where they cannot be detected during a visual exam alone.
Digital X-rays help us identify:
- Cavities between teeth
- Bone loss caused by gum disease
- Infections or abscesses
- Impacted teeth
- Cysts or abnormal growths
- Developmental issues in children
Early detection allows for more conservative, less invasive treatment options.
Safer Imaging Technology
One of the biggest advantages of digital X-rays is reduced radiation exposure. Digital systems use up to 80% less radiation than traditional film X-rays.
Additional safety benefits include:
- Faster image capture
- Minimal retakes due to high image quality
- Environmentally friendly (no chemical processing)
We only recommend X-rays when clinically necessary and based on your individual health history and risk factors.

When Are Dental X-Rays Needed?
The frequency of X-rays depends on your oral health, age, and risk for disease. You may need X-rays more frequently if you:
- Have a history of cavities
- Show signs of gum disease
- Are planning restorative or orthodontic treatment
- Experience pain or swelling
- Are a new patient
For patients with healthy, stable oral conditions, X-rays may be taken less often.
