What is a Dental X-Ray ?
Dental X-rays are diagnostic images that reveal the internal structure of your teeth and the bone beneath your gumline. They detect decay between teeth, bone loss from gum disease, infections at the root, impacted teeth, and other conditions that are invisible during a visual examination.
At United Nations Plaza Dental we use digital X-ray technology which produces significantly less radiation than traditional film X-rays and delivers images instantly on screen for immediate review. For complex implant cases and surgical planning, we also use cone beam CT scanning which produces a full 3D image of the jaw.

What to Expect During Your x-ray visit
step by step Procedure
Positioning and Setup
The type of X-ray needed determines the setup. Bitewing X-rays check for decay between teeth. Periapical X-rays show the full length of a tooth and its root. Panoramic X-rays capture the entire mouth in a single image.
Image Capture
Digital sensors are positioned in your mouth and the X-ray is taken in a fraction of a second. Images appear on screen immediately and are available for review before you leave the chair.
Immediate Review
Our team reviews the images on screen with you, pointing out anything that needs attention and explaining clearly what it means and what the options are. You leave knowing exactly what your X-rays show.
3D Imaging When Needed
For implant planning, bone assessment, or complex cases, cone beam CT scanning produces a detailed 3D image of the jaw including bone density, nerve positions, and sinus anatomy that standard X-rays cannot provide.

BENEFITS of dental x-ray
Detect Problems Before They Start
X-rays catch decay, bone loss, and infections at their earliest stages when treatment is simplest and least expensive.
Low Radiation Digital Technology
Digital X-rays produce up to 90 percent less radiation than traditional film X-rays and deliver instant images with superior clarity.
Essential for Implant Planning
Cone beam CT imaging is a prerequisite for accurate implant placement, giving our surgical team a precise three-dimensional map of your jaw before any procedure begins.
Fast and Painless
Digital X-rays take seconds to capture and require no development time. The entire imaging portion of your exam adds only a few minutes to your appointment.
Benefits
Full Arch Restoration
All-on-6 replaces an entire arch of missing teeth with one fixed, comprehensive solution — upper, lower, or both.
Superior Stability
Six implants distribute bite force more evenly across the jaw than fewer-implant solutions — providing a more natural feel and greater long-term stability.
No Dentures Required
Your new arch is permanently fixed — no removal at night, no adhesives, no slipping, no dietary restrictions.
Long-Term Results
With proper care and regular checkups, dental implants are designed to be a long-term solution. Results vary by patient, and our team will give you an honest assessment of what to expect during your consultation.

Dental X-Ray FAQs
For most adults, bitewing X-rays are recommended annually and a full set of X-rays every 3 to 5 years. Patients with a higher risk of decay or active dental issues may need X-rays more frequently based on clinical judgment.
Yes. Digital X-rays use a fraction of the radiation of older film technology. The dose from a standard set of bitewing X-rays is comparable to the background radiation you receive during a short airplane flight.
Standard X-rays produce a two-dimensional image. Cone beam CT scanning produces a full three-dimensional image of the teeth, bone, nerves, and sinuses. It is the standard of care for implant planning and complex surgical cases.
Most dental insurance plans cover diagnostic X-rays as part of your routine exam benefits. The frequency of covered X-rays varies by plan. Our team verifies your specific coverage before your appointment.
