Modern dentistry is constantly evolving, and one of the most important advances for your comfort and safety is digital dental imaging. At Smiley Dental Group in Columbus, OH, Dr. Holowicki, Dr. Moore, and Dr. Renshaw use the latest digital X-rays to capture precise images of your teeth, tooth roots, and jawbone with much less radiation than traditional radiographs. You’ll enjoy faster, safer, and more accurate care, all from the comfort of the dental chair.
How Digital X-Rays Are Different
Digital X-rays replace old film-based radiographs with a small sensor that captures clear, detailed digital images in seconds. According to the American Dental Association (ADA), digital imaging exposes patients to up to 80–90% less radiation than older methods, offering greater patient safety without compromising accuracy.
The process is simple: you’ll wear a lead apron for protection, the sensor is placed gently in your mouth, and in just moments, your dental professionals can review your results right on-screen. These crystal-clear images help our team spot even the smallest dental issues quickly and comfortably.
How Digital X-Rays Benefit Your Oral Health
Clear image quality means better diagnoses and earlier detection. With digital technology, your dentist can identify cavities, bone loss, gum disease, or even small cysts before they become serious. Whether you need a crown, an evaluation for gum disease, or help planning other dental treatments, accurate imaging leads to more effective treatment planning and personalized care.
Because results appear instantly, you spend less time waiting and more time getting answers. It’s modern dental care designed around convenience, accuracy, and peace of mind.
Supporting Preventive and Restorative Care
Digital X-rays do more than diagnose — they help prevent and manage long-term oral health concerns. By tracking subtle changes in your teeth and jawbone, our team can detect problems like hidden decay or early signs of bone loss before they progress.
They’re also invaluable in restorative dentistry — whether preparing for crowns, evaluating dental appliances, or ensuring a precise fit during treatment. These clear, high-quality digital images help make every procedure more predictable and successful.
What to Expect During Your Visit
There’s no special preparation needed for digital X-rays. You’ll simply relax in the chair while we take quick, painless scans. The entire process takes just a few minutes, and your results are available instantly.
Our dentists will review your images with you right away, explaining what they see and how it relates to your oral health. You’ll leave your appointment feeling informed, confident, and cared for—knowing that your safety and comfort always come first.
