You won’t need to do much for your digital X-rays; they’re one of the simplest parts of the whole visit. Everything is focused on capturing a clear, accurate picture, so your dentist has exactly what they need to look after you well.

With the images in hand, your dentist takes a close look, checking for anything unusual and figuring out whether you'd benefit from further evaluation or treatment.
