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.
