Digital X-Rays in San Jose CA

X-rays have significant use in the field of dentistry. They are an essential diagnostic tool used to get a better view of the teeth, tooth roots, gums, underlying jawbone and determine the presence of unwanted growth of tissues. At Varni Dental, we use x-ray equipment that produces minimal radiation, making it safer for use on human tissues.

Uses of digital x-rays

X-rays are used for multiple purposes in dentistry, such as:

• Examining the jawbone structure when patients undergo external trauma
• Determining the presence of dormant or underlying cavities
• Jawbone deterioration or shrinkage
• Confirming the presence of oral cancer in patients
• Checking for drifting of teeth in the case of missing teeth

We will recommend taking dental x-rays only if absolutely necessary.
