Clear digital images that help us find problems early and plan treatment accurately.
Quick answer
Dental X-rays show what can't be seen in a visual check, such as cavities between teeth, infection at the root, bone levels and impacted teeth. At Kapoor's Safe Hands Dental in Sushant Lok, Gurgaon, we take images only when they will help diagnosis or planning, and we use 3D CBCT scans to plan implants.
| Best for | Diagnosis and treatment planning |
|---|---|
| What we may use | Small digital X-rays, wider jaw views and 3D CBCT scans |
| When | Only when it will change diagnosis or treatment |
| Pregnancy | Tell us first, non-urgent X-rays are usually postponed |
A lot of dental problems start where nobody can see them. A cavity can grow between two teeth for months before it hurts. An infection can sit at the tip of a root without any pain. Wisdom teeth can lie sideways under the gum. Imaging lets your dentist see all of this before it becomes a bigger, more expensive and more uncomfortable problem.
Small digital X-rays of individual teeth or a few teeth, to check cavities, roots and the bone around them
Wider views of the jaws when we need to see more of the mouth, such as for impacted teeth
3D CBCT scans, which show the width, height and quality of the jawbone and the position of nerves. These are especially important for planning dental implants
Where it's suitable for your case, imaging options that don't use X-rays
Cavities between teeth and under old fillings
Infection or abscesses at the root of a tooth
Bone loss caused by gum disease
Impacted or extra teeth
Cracks or breaks that aren't visible from the outside
How much bone is available for an implant
We believe in keeping radiation as low as reasonably possible. That means we don't take X-rays out of routine. We take them when the image will change what we diagnose or how we treat you. Digital sensors need less radiation than old film, and we use protective measures during imaging. How often you need X-rays depends on you. Someone with a low risk of cavities may need them only every couple of years, while a person with active decay or gum disease needs them more often.
If you're pregnant or think you might be, tell us before any imaging. We generally avoid non-urgent X-rays during pregnancy and take them only if they're truly needed. For children, X-rays are taken only when necessary, with protective precautions, and at the lowest practical dose.
Imaging is essential for dental implants and root canal treatment, and it helps plan wisdom tooth removal.
