What Are Dental X-Rays?
Digital dental x-rays are an essential part of any comprehensive dental exam, providing a clearer view of your teeth, gums, and jaw that can't be seen with the naked eye. At Joe Pausa, DMD, we use oral x-rays to detect hidden dental issues like cavities, abscesses, cysts, bone loss, and impacted teeth. Identifying problems early can give you more treatment options, often leading to less invasive procedures. Our office features some of the most advanced dental imaging tools on the market, allowing us to get the most detailed picture of your oral health.

What Happens During Dental X-rays?
For most patients, we recommend having x-rays done during your annual dental exam. During your appointment, our staff will show you to our imaging room, where we'll capture the images we need of your mouth and jaw. We perform both panoramic and cephalometric x-rays at Joe Pausa, DMD, allowing us to obtain the most detailed image we can with no discomfort for you. We're also excited to offer state-of-the-art 3D dental imaging, which enables us to create advanced cross-sectional views to help us plan your oral surgery. Whichever approach we use, dental x-rays typically take only a few minutes to capture and process. Once we have your scans ready, we'll review them with you and discuss any concerns we need to address to preserve your smile.
