Modern Dental Imaging Near You

A dental examination can tell your dentist a great deal about what is visible in your mouth, but some areas of your teeth and supporting structures cannot be evaluated from the outside. Digital X-rays at Progressive Dental Arts provide detailed images that help Rodney Kryzhanovskiy, D.M.D. and Lavinia Wu, D.M.D. assess areas that may not be apparent during a visual examination. For patients in Newark, Christiana, and Pike Creek, NJ, digital imaging can be an important part of understanding what is happening beneath the surface.

What Digital X-Rays Reveal

Digital dental X-rays use an electronic sensor to capture images of your teeth and surrounding structures. Depending on the type of X-ray needed, your dentist may use the images to evaluate individual teeth, several teeth at once, or areas of the jaw.

These images can help your dentist look for concerns such as cavities between teeth, changes around tooth roots, bone loss, developing teeth, impacted teeth, or other abnormalities that may not be visible during a routine oral examination.

Dr. Rodney Kryzhanovskiy and Dr. Lavinia Wu consider the findings from X-rays alongside your examination, dental history, symptoms, and other relevant information. X-rays are therefore one diagnostic tool rather than a substitute for a complete dental evaluation.Not every patient needs the same type or frequency of dental X-rays. Your dentist can determine which images are appropriate based on your individual circumstances.

Why Choose Digital X-Rays?

Digital imaging gives your dental team access to diagnostic information that a visual examination alone cannot provide. Having a clearer view of areas beneath the visible tooth surface can help your dentist investigate symptoms, identify developing concerns, and make more informed treatment decisions.Digital images can also be stored as part of your dental records, allowing your dentist to compare findings over time when appropriate. This can be particularly useful when monitoring changes in your teeth, bone, or existing dental conditions.
