Digital Dental X-Rays: Safe, Clear, and Essential to Your Care
You can’t always see what’s going on beneath the surface—but we can. At Five Point Family Dentistry in Olathe, we use modern digital radiographs (X-rays) to detect problems early, plan treatment accurately, and protect your long-term oral health.
These aren’t the clunky, uncomfortable X-rays of the past. Our digital imaging is quick, low-radiation, and incredibly precise—giving us a clearer view of your teeth, roots, jawbone, and surrounding structures in real time.
Why Patients Appreciate Digital X-Rays
Safer with Lower Radiation Exposure
Digital X-rays use up to 90% less radiation than traditional film, making them safer for both kids and adults.
Fast and Comfortable
No sharp bitewings or long wait times—images are captured quickly and displayed instantly on-screen.
High-Definition Images for Better Diagnosis
Detailed images help us spot small cavities, infections, bone loss, and other issues before they become big problems.
Eco-Friendly & Efficient
No chemicals, no film, no waste. Digital files also make it easy to share records or submit to insurance when needed.
Trusted by Olathe Families
We’re known for combining advanced technology with warm, patient-centered care right here in Johnson County.
What Can Digital X-Rays Detect?
Our digital X-rays help us catch and diagnose:
- Tooth decay (including between teeth and under fillings)
- Bone loss from periodontal disease
- Infections at the root of a tooth
- Impacted or missing teeth
- Abscesses or cysts
- Problems with tooth development (especially in kids and teens)
When Do I Need Dental X-Rays?
X-rays are an important part of your comprehensive exam. Depending on your age, risk factors, and dental history, we may recommend:
Bitewing X-rays every 12–24 months
Full-mouth or panoramic X-rays every 3–5 years
Targeted X-rays before procedures like root canals or implants
We’ll always explain why we’re taking X-rays and how often you need them based on your health—not a one-size-fits-all schedule.
Are Dental X-Rays Safe?
Yes. Digital X-rays are extremely safe. In fact, you get more radiation exposure flying cross-country than from a routine dental X-ray. We use protective lead aprons, limit exposures, and only take images when medically necessary.
If you’re pregnant or have concerns, let us know—we’ll walk you through your options and safety measures.
How Digital Imaging Helps You
By catching issues early, X-rays save time, money, and stress. They help us:
- Plan fillings, root canals, and crowns with precision
- Monitor changes in gum and bone health
- Prepare for implants, dentures, and extractions
- Avoid unnecessary treatment by confirming the diagnosis
- You deserve more than guesswork. That’s why we rely on digital clarity.Gingivitis
