What Are Digital X-rays?
Digital dental x-rays or radiographs are done during an annual dental exam to provide a better view of your mouth. They allow Dr. Rupam Khanna to diagnose problems that aren't easily visible and to learn about the health of the inside of your teeth, gums, and jaw. There are several oral health conditions that can be diagnosed with dental x-rays, such as tooth decay, cavities, cysts, abscesses, bone loss, and impactions. If these conditions are found early, you may have more treatment options that are less invasive. As part of your annual exam at San Ramon Family Dental in San Ramon, CA, dental x-rays will help Dr. Khanna more accurately diagnose and correct oral health conditions.
What Should I Expect with Digital X-rays?
Often performed at the start of a dental cleaning or exam, digital dental imaging takes about 5 – 10 minutes to complete. Many patients will get a set of dental x-rays to show all areas of the mouth. After they are done, they will be uploaded so Dr. Khanna can review them with you during your appointment. She will be able to assess if there are any areas of concern and go over what treatments may be needed.

Digital X-rays FAQ
How often should I receive digital dental x-rays?
For the average patient, we usually recommend receiving new dental x-rays about once every year. However, in some unique cases, x-rays may be required more frequently. These x-rays are generally performed during a general exam.
What is shown in a digital dental x-ray?
Typically, we utilize digital dental x-rays in order to identify whether or not there is any decay within the teeth themselves. This allows us to notice and treat small problems before they grow into larger issues. Without x-rays, many of these problems would likely go undiscovered until the patient begins to feel pain or sickness.
Are digital dental x-rays covered by insurance?
Most dental insurance plans should cover most or all of the annual digital dental x-ray costs. This is due to their crucial part in maintaining the overall health of the mouth and gums. We can work with patients without insurance to find a financing plan to fit their budget.
