What are
Dental X-Rays & Diagnostics?
Dental X-rays and diagnostic exams are essential tools in modern dentistry. They allow us to detect problems that can’t be seen during a visual exam, including cavities between teeth, jawbone loss, impacted teeth, infections, and more. At Smile Innovation, we use low-radiation digital imaging for safer, faster, and clearer diagnostics—so we can provide the most accurate and conservative treatment plans possible.
