Assess Deeper Structures With X-Rays & Radiographs
Dental X-rays use digital imaging to capture detailed views of the teeth, bone, and surrounding oral structures. These dental radiographs can support the assessment of concerns that may not be visible during a visual review. At The Smile Shoppe, imaging recommendations are based on individual oral health needs, history, symptoms, and clinical findings.
Bitewing X-rays may help identify decay between teeth
and changes in supporting bone, while panoramic X-rays provide a broader view of the teeth and jaws. Digital images can be viewed electronically and stored with your health records. Patients with specific concerns, developing teeth, or treatment planning needs may benefit from radiographs. Book an appointment in Milton to discuss whether dental X-rays are appropriate for you.
Cavity Detection

Broader Oral Imaging
Digital X-rays can provide detailed views of teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures when a broader perspective is needed. Panoramic dental X-ray imaging supports assessment of developing teeth, impacted teeth, and jaw areas during treatment planning.
