DIGITAL & 3-D X-RAYS (CBCT)
EXPERIENCE PROFESSIONAL AND EFFECTIVE DENTISTRY WITH DIGITAL X-RAYS
Digital dental X-rays are high-resolution, low-radiation imaging diagnostics used to detect hidden decay between teeth, bone loss, and infection beneath the gum line. Patients in Rogersville, MO benefit from state-of-the-art digital X-rays at Rogersville Family Dental for rapid, precise diagnostic evaluations with up to 80% less radiation exposure than traditional film X-rays.
Digital Dental X-Rays
Using a compact radiographic camera, about the size of a pen, we can swiftly capture detailed images of each tooth, replacing the traditional film used in standard X-rays. This cutting-edge technology eliminates the need for chemical development or processing, with images immediately displayed on a computer screen after each scan. Both providers and patients can view the images within minutes. By adjusting the angle of the imaging wand, the provider can capture every angle of each tooth, providing instant results and removing any waiting time.
Benefits Of X-Rays
Our advanced imaging technology reduces radiation exposure significantly compared to traditional X-rays while delivering reliable, high-quality results. This enables our experienced provider to quickly identify any issues with the teeth, gums, enamel, and even hidden dental structures such as cavities, tumors, or other abnormalities.
The images are displayed instantly on a monitor, where the provider can review and explain them to the patient. They can also be enlarged, adjusted, and saved for future reference. This technology allows for easy digital comparisons of X-rays over time, helping to reduce waste and eliminate the need for harmful chemicals.

3-D X-RAYS (CBCT)
In dentistry, CBCT stands for “Cone Beam Computed Tomography,” which is a specialized imaging technique that uses X-rays to generate detailed, three-dimensional images of a patient’s teeth, jawbone, and surrounding structures, providing a more comprehensive view compared to traditional 2D dental X-rays. At Rogersville Family Dental we use CBCT scans to plan complex procedures like dental implants with greater accuracy.
