See What We See-Safely
Dental X-rays are a key part of comprehensive dental care. At Tsawwassen Place Dental, we use digital X-rays to safely diagnose and monitor issues that aren’t visible during a regular exam. They allow us to provide proactive, informed care for the whole family. These imaging tools help us detect problems before they become painful or costly.
Why Do Dentists Use X-Rays?
- Detect hidden cavities
- Monitor bone loss or gum disease
- Evaluate wisdom teeth or orthodontic needs
- Check the fit of crowns and fillings
- Identify abscesses, cysts, and tumors
These images give us the full picture so we can treat you more effectively. With early detection, we can recommend treatment plans that are less invasive and more affordable.
Are Dental X-Rays Safe?
Yes! Modern digital X-rays use very low radiation levels-up to 80% less than traditional film. We take every precaution to ensure your safety, including:
- Lead aprons and thyroid collars
- Digital sensors that reduce exposure
- Only taking X-rays when necessary
Your safety is our top priority, and we follow all guidelines to ensure radiation exposure stays minimal.
