Digital X-Rays

Advanced Imaging for Accurate & Early Diagnosis

At Hampton Dental Surgery, we use advanced digital X-ray technology to provide fast, safe, and highly accurate dental diagnostics. Digital X-rays help us detect issues that are not visible during a regular examination, allowing for early treatment and better long-term outcomes.

Our focus is on precise diagnosis while ensuring maximum comfort and safety for every patient.

What Are Digital X-Rays?

Digital X-rays are a modern imaging technique that uses electronic sensors instead of traditional film to capture detailed images of your teeth, gums, and jaw.

The images are instantly displayed on a screen, allowing your dentist to examine and explain your oral health in real time.

Benefits of Digital X-Rays

Low Radiation Exposure

Digital X-rays use up to 80–90% less radiation than traditional film X-rays, making them a safer option for patients.

Instant Results

Images are available immediately, reducing waiting time and allowing faster diagnosis.

High-Quality Images

Clear, high-resolution images can be enhanced and zoomed for accurate diagnosis.

Improved Treatment Planning

Detailed imaging helps create precise and personalised treatment plans.

Types of Digital X-Rays

Depending on your needs, we may use different types of X-rays:

Bitewing X-Rays

Used to detect cavities between teeth and monitor bone levels.

Periapical X-Rays

Focus on the entire tooth, including the root and surrounding bone.

Panoramic X-Rays

Provide a full view of the teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Digital X-rays are quick, simple, and comfortable:

The process is non-invasive and usually takes only a few minutes.

Are Digital X-Rays Safe?

Yes, digital X-rays are extremely safe. They use very low radiation levels—often comparable to everyday environmental exposure.

They are suitable for children and adults, and are only recommended when necessary for diagnosis and treatment planning.

How Often Do You Need X-Rays?

The frequency depends on your oral health, age, and risk factors.

Some patients may need X-rays once a year, while others may require them less frequently. Your dentist will recommend what’s best for you.
