Digital Dental X-Rays in Honolulu

Advanced Digital Dental X-Rays at Periodontal Specialists of Hawaii

At Periodontal Specialists of Hawaii, we utilize cutting-edge digital dental x-rays to provide our patients with the most accurate and detailed images of their oral health. Digital x-rays are a fast, safe, and effective way to detect hidden dental issues and plan the best course of treatment. Our expert team, led by Dr. Ryan H. Yim, DDS, Dr. Allison P. Tran, DDS, and Dr. Edmund A. Cassella, DMD, uses this technology to ensure that you receive the highest quality care.

Located in Honolulu, we proudly serve the surrounding areas, including Ala Moana, Kaka'ako, McCully-Moiliili, and Makiki.

Why Digital Dental X-Rays Are Essential

Digital dental x-rays provide high-resolution images that allow our dentists to identify potential dental issues that may not be visible during a routine examination. These x-rays help us detect:

Cavities between teeth
Bone loss associated with gum disease
Impacted teeth or infection
Early signs of tooth decay or damage

With digital technology, x-rays are more comfortable, emit lower radiation, and provide immediate results, allowing our team to diagnose and treat problems faster. Regular x-rays, combined with dental cleanings and exams, are crucial for maintaining your long-term oral health.

The Benefits of Digital X-Rays

Switching to digital x-rays offers numerous advantages for both patients and our dental team, including:

Reduced Radiation Exposure: Digital x-rays emit up to 90% less radiation than traditional x-rays, making them safer for patients.
Immediate Imaging: With digital technology, your x-rays are available instantly, allowing our team to review them on the spot and discuss any necessary treatments with you.
Enhanced Image Quality: The high-resolution images provided by digital x-rays allow for more accurate diagnoses, helping to catch issues early before they become more serious.
Eco-Friendly: Digital x-rays eliminate the need for film and chemical processing, making them an environmentally friendly choice.

At Periodontal Specialists of Hawaii, we strive to use the most advanced technologies available to offer the highest level of care to our patients.

What to Expect During a Digital X-Ray

Getting a digital dental x-ray is a simple and comfortable process. Here’s what you can expect during your visit:

Preparation: Our dental team will place a protective lead apron over your body to minimize exposure to any radiation.
Taking the X-Ray: A small sensor will be placed in your mouth to capture images of your teeth and surrounding structures. The process is quick and typically completed within a few minutes.
Reviewing the Results: Once the x-ray is taken, the images are available immediately on a monitor, allowing our dentists to explain the results and discuss any recommended treatments.
Treatment Planning: If the x-ray reveals any dental concerns, such as cavities, bone loss, or impacted teeth, our team will create a personalized treatment plan to address your needs.

Who Should Get Digital Dental X-Rays?

Digital x-rays are an essential part of preventative care for patients of all ages. We recommend x-rays based on your individual oral health needs, but most patients will need them during their routine dental exams, especially if:

It’s been more than a year since your last x-ray
You’re experiencing tooth pain or sensitivity
You’re undergoing orthodontic treatments or planning for dental implants
You have a history of gum disease or cavities

Regular x-rays help us monitor your dental health and ensure any issues are detected early.
