Dental X-Rays

Exciting Advancements In Modern Digital X-Rays Keeps Patients Smiling

Dental X-ray examinations provide valuable information that helps Dr. Roberto Monteagudo evaluate your oral health. Modern, digital X-rays are ultra-safe and extremely important in your thorough dental evaluation. With the help of radiographs (x-rays), Dr. Monteagudo can look and share with you, what is happening beneath the surface of your teeth and gums. By viewing the inside of your teeth and accompanying oral structures, we can more effectively diagnose and care for your smile.

Before digital advancements to x-rays evolved, concerns regarding the amount of radiation a patient was exposed too from dental X-rays was very small.  Now those patients celebrate with confidence the opportunity to attain the highest level of diagnostic abilities of x-rays with exposure that is less than the exposure of the natural atmosphere.

Our advanced digital x-ray technicians take every step possible to ensure the health and safeness' of our patients and themselves.

Why X-Rays are Important

Dental radiographs, or X-rays allow us to detect problems in existing dental work as well as receding bone and abscesses. For instance, cavities and gum disease show up as dark places on white teeth and bone images. Because many diseases of the teeth and surrounding tissues cannot be seen by the naked eye when your dentist examines your mouth, an X-ray examination can also help reveal:
 

  • Small areas of decay between the teeth or below existing restoration (fillings)
  • Infections in the bone
  • Periodontal (gum) disease
  • Abscesses or cysts
  • Developmental abnormalities
  • Some types of tumors

Not only do X-rays help us diagnose dental problems and develop customized treatment plans, but they document your dental health status, establishing a baseline from which to monitor changes over time. Finding out and treating dental problems at an early stage can save time, money and unnecessary discomfort.


If you have questions or concerns about X-rays or other dental procedures, please call us at 414.383.5833 or share your concerns with us at your appointment. As your preferred dental care provider, we want you to be informed and confident in the care you receive in our office.
