Digital X-Rays

See What's Happening Under the Surface

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.

Precise Diagnoses with Digital X-Rays

Diagnostic Imaging

What Are Digital X-Rays in Sarasota, FL?

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.

When You Need X-Rays

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.

Why We Use Digital X-Rays

We use digital X-rays because they help us find problems early and help you understand what’s going on.

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.

How Digital X-Rays Work in Sarasota, FL

Here’s what you can expect.
A small sensor is placed between your teeth while you gently bite down. The image shows up almost instantly. If the sensor feels awkward or uncomfortable, tell we can adjust it to make things easier.
  • Bitewing X-rays help detect cavities between teeth and are often taken annually.
  • Periapical X-rays show the full tooth from crown to root and can help identify infections or abscesses.
  • Panoramic X-rays capture your whole mouth, including your jaw and sinuses, and are typically taken every few years or for new patients.

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.

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.

Dental Cleanings

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.

Periodontal (Gum)

Periodontal (Gum) Therapy

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.

Emergency Dental Care

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.

Dental Crowns

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.
