WE ARE ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS
Digital X-rays help us see what’s going on under the surface—things you can’t spot just by looking in the mirror. At Corona Family Dental, we use digital X-rays in Sarasota to check for cavities between teeth, early bone loss, infections, and other concerns before they become bigger problems.
Digital imaging uses much less radiation than older film systems, and your images show up on screen right away. With over 20 years of experience reading dental X-rays, our team knows what to look for and we’ll walk you through what we see in a clear, simple way.
Digital X-rays let us look inside your teeth and jawbone without any invasive procedures. They can help us find cavities between teeth, infections near the root, and changes in bone that may point to gum disease.
Because the images are digital, we can zoom in, adjust the contrast, and focus on specific areas. Results appear within seconds, so there’s no waiting for film to develop.
Not everyone needs X-rays at every visit. Many patients do well with bitewing X-rays about once a year to check for cavities early. Some people may need them more often, depending on gum health, past dental work, or cavity risk.
Panoramic X-rays are usually taken every three to five years, or when they’re clinically needed. If you’re pregnant, we typically postpone X-rays unless there’s pain or urgency.
We offer digital X-rays at Corona Family Dental in:
We also welcome patients from nearby Sarasota- and Bradenton-area communities.
Digital X-rays are designed to use less radiation than traditional film X-rays. We follow careful safety steps and only recommend X-rays when they help guide your care. If imaging isn’t needed, we won’t push it.
The American Dental Association advises that dental X-rays should be taken only when they provide valuable diagnostic information.
Your images appear immediately on a screen, so we can review them together. We’ll point out anything we notice, explain what it may mean, and answer your questions. You’ll be looking at the same images we are—no guesswork.
Digital imaging is quick. In most cases, images are captured within minutes, so we can move straight into your exam or planning without delay.
ADA’s MouthHealthy also notes you may not need dental X-rays at every visit; they should be taken when they’re needed to get the right diagnostic information for your care.
We review your images with you in real time. By zooming and adjusting contrast, we can show areas of concern and explain what we see in simple terms.
Your X-rays are stored securely in your digital file. This helps us compare images over time and track changes accurately at future visits.
Digital X-rays help us spot what’s happening under the surface so we can recommend the right next step. These are the most common services we pair with X-rays, depending on what we find.
A dental exam helps catch small issues before they turn into bigger ones. Digital X-rays give us a clearer view of cavities, bone health, and concerns that aren’t visible during a visual check alone.
X-rays help us see buildup and problem areas that may need extra attention during your cleaning. Together, imaging and cleanings support long-term oral health.
If X-rays show early bone loss or signs of gum disease, periodontal therapy may be recommended to protect the foundation of your teeth and prevent further damage.
When you have tooth pain, swelling, or an urgent dental concern, digital X-rays help us quickly find the source so we can focus on relief and the safest next step.
X-rays help us evaluate the root and surrounding bone before placing a crown. This ensures the tooth is healthy enough to support a long-lasting restoration.
If you’re missing a tooth, X-rays allow us to assess nearby teeth and bone before planning a dental bridge that restores function and comfort.
