Digital Impressions & Radiography

Comfortable, precise digital scanning and imaging.

← Back to Family & Orthodontics

Good dental care depends on seeing clearly what's going on. Digital imaging and scanning give our team accurate pictures of your teeth, so treatment can be planned with confidence.

For many patients, digital scanning can also be a more comfortable alternative to traditional impression trays.

Common questions

Are dental X-rays safe?

They use a small amount of radiation. Digital X-rays generally use less than traditional film, and your dentist recommends them only when they are useful.

What is a digital impression?

It's a scan of your teeth that replaces the putty-filled tray used for traditional impressions in many cases.

Will I see the results?

Yes. We're happy to show you and explain what we see.
