Dental X-rays

What Are Dental X-Rays?

Dental X-rays, or dental radiographs, are high-resolution images that reveal critical details about your teeth, gums, roots, jawbone, and surrounding structures. While surface-level dental issues can often be detected during a visual exam, many dental conditions develop beneath the surface.

Dental issues detected through dental X-rays 

  • - Detect cavities between teeth
  • - Identify hidden tooth infections
  • - Monitor bone loss caused by gum disease
  • - Examine wisdom teeth development
  • - Plan cosmetic and restorative treatments like veneers, crowns, or implants

If you're searching for a dentist near you in Princeton, NJ 08540, our expert team offers cutting-edge diagnostics for early detection and proactive care.

  • - Bitewing X-rays – Perfect for detecting decay between back teeth
  • - Periapical X-rays – Used to view the entire tooth from crown to root
  • - Panoramic X-rays – A full 360° image of your mouth, ideal for implants and orthodontics
