Digital X-Rays

Our digital X-rays are used by W Dentistry to obtain a clear image of your teeth beneath your gums. Dr. Walker uses these images to better diagnose and treat dental issues to help maintain the health of your smile.

The Process

Digital X-rays are one of the advanced diagnostic tools we use to provide you with the best possible care. Digital radiography has changed the way we take dental X-rays by making the process faster, more comfortable and more convenient than ever before. Digital X-rays use a digital sensor to take images of your teeth, unlike traditional X-rays that use film. Digital X-rays use significantly less radiation than conventional film X-rays and require no chemicals for developing the images. Dr. Walker can instantly view high-quality images on monitors right in the treatment room to provide you with efficient, accurate diagnoses and care. Our team is able to use digital radiography to identify and diagnose several types of dental problems, such as:

  • Decay in between teeth
  • Developmental abnormalities
  • Improper tooth root positioning
  • Cysts and abscesses
  • Fractures in existing fillings
  • Tumors
  • Infection in the tooth nerves
  • Bone loss

Digital dental X-rays are used to plan many kinds of dental treatment, such as oral surgery procedures, root canal treatment, dental implants, orthodontics and more.

Intraoral Camera

Our dentist, Dr. Brad A. Walker DDS, uses an intraoral camera to view high-quality images of your mouth. These detailed images allow our dentist to see hard-to-reach problem areas and helps him prescribe more accurate treatments.

An intraoral camera is an instrument we use to get a closer look at different parts of your mouth. The intraoral camera is a small, pen-shaped device that we can use to take high-quality color photos of your teeth and gums, as well as other areas of your mouth as needed. Because the intraoral camera is so small and easily maneuverable, we can use it to see angles in your mouth that are not easily viewed otherwise. We may utilize the intraoral camera to better evaluate your oral health and diagnose dental problems like tooth decay and periodontal disease, as well as tooth damage like cracked or chipped teeth. The intraoral camera is also useful in following up after a treatment has been completed.

In addition to helping our team get a better view of your smile, the images taken with the intraoral camera allow you, our patient, to gain a better understanding of your oral health and dental treatments. We can also send these photos to other dentists and specialists, as well as submit them to dental insurance companies, as needed.
