Digital Dental X-Rays – QUICK, SAFE AND EASY
Catch Dental Issues Early To Save Time, Money, Discomfort, And—Most Importantly—Your Teeth!
Dental radiographs, or dental x-rays, are essential preventative tools that provide crucial information not visible during a routine exam. With these diagnostic images, dentists and dental hygienists can safely and accurately identify hidden issues and develop effective treatment plans. Without x-rays, underlying problems can go undetected, potentially leading to more severe issues.
Digital Panoramic X-Ray
At Lakeshore Dental Implant & Aesthetic Dentistry in Etobicoke, we use the state-of-the-art panoramic x-rays as a diagnostic tool. Unlike digital dental x-rays that require a sensor inside your mouth, panoramic x-rays are taken externally. During the process, you’ll sit or stand in the center of the unit while your head is carefully positioned, and a bite-blocker ensures proper teeth alignment. The x-ray tube then rotates in a semicircle around your head, capturing detailed images in just 12-20 seconds.
Advanced Digital Radiography
How Panoramic X-Rays Work and Their Benefits
This advanced imaging technique creates a comprehensive view of your entire mouth, including the jaws, teeth, and surrounding structures. It allows dentists to identify issues like bone abnormalities and fractures. Panoramic x-rays are also invaluable for planning treatments such as braces, dental implants, or dentures.
If you have any questions about how panoramic x-rays can benefit your oral health, feel free to ask our Etobicoke dentist during your next visit.

Are Dental X-Rays Safe?
Yes, dental x-rays are very safe. Digital X-rays reduce radiation exposure by up to 90% compared to traditional methods, making them a healthier choice for patients. To ensure safety, we take X-rays only when necessary and use protective lead aprons during the procedure.
