Dental X-Rays | Accurate Diagnosis with Digital Technology

What Are Dental X-Rays?

Dental X-rays are imaging tools used to examine teeth, gums, and jawbone structures that are not visible during a routine dental check-up. Digital X-rays are the modern, safer version, offering faster, high-resolution images with significantly lower radiation exposure.

At Skin House, we use advanced digital X-ray technology to provide precise diagnostics and plan effective treatments for all dental needs.

  • Assess bone structure and jaw health

  • Aid in planning root canals, implants, and orthodontic treatments

  • Quick, accurate, and minimally invasive imaging

  • Safer than traditional X-rays with reduced radiation exposure
