Dental X-Rays in New Haven and Macomb County

Advanced imaging technology to see what’s hidden beneath the surface.

Dental X-rays are one of the most important diagnostic tools in modern dentistry. They reveal cavities between teeth, assess bone health, detect infections, and help us spot problems before they become serious.

At New Haven Family Dental, we use advanced digital X-ray technology that provides clear, detailed images while minimizing radiation exposure. We serve patients across New Haven, Chesterfield, Richmond, Lenox, and the rest of Macomb County.

What’s Included in Your Dental X-Ray Service

Every patient’s situation is unique. That’s why we tailor our imaging approach to your individual needs. Here’s what a typical X-ray appointment includes:

Digital Imaging Assessment

We’ll determine which X-rays you need based on your dental history, current symptoms, and the thoroughness of your exam. Some patients need bite-wing X-rays to check for cavities between teeth, while others benefit from full-mouth series to assess overall oral health.

Digital X-Ray Capture

Using state-of-the-art digital X-ray equipment, we’ll take clear, detailed images with minimal radiation exposure. The process is quick and painless. Digital X-rays appear on our computer screen instantly, so we can review them with you right away.

Image Review and Explanation

Your dentist will examine the X-rays, explain what we’re seeing, and discuss any findings with you. If we spot cavities, bone loss, infections, or other issues, we’ll outline your treatment options and next steps.

FAQ

Dental Implant FAQ

Are dental X-rays safe?

Yes. Modern digital X-rays emit significantly less radiation than older film X-rays. We also use lead aprons to protect your body and only take X-rays when medically necessary. The radiation exposure from dental X-rays is minimal compared to other sources.

Why do I need X-rays if I can’t see a problem?

X-rays reveal issues that are invisible to the naked eye, like cavities between teeth, bone loss, infections below the gumline, and problems with tooth roots. Early detection saves you time, money, and discomfort.

How often do I need X-rays?

For most patients, X-rays every one to two years during routine exams are sufficient. If you have risk factors like a history of cavities or gum disease, we may recommend more frequent imaging. We’ll discuss the right schedule for you.

What types of X-rays might I need?

Common types include bite-wing X-rays (to check for cavities between teeth), periapical X-rays (to see the entire tooth and root), and panoramic X-rays (a full view of your mouth, jaw, and sinuses). We’ll take whatever images are most helpful for your situation.

Can pregnant patients have X-rays?

Yes, but we typically defer non-emergency X-rays until after the first trimester. If you’re pregnant or think you might be, let us know when you schedule so we can plan accordingly.

Do you take X-rays on children?

Yes. We see kids of all ages and take X-rays as part of their routine care. Digital X-rays are safe for children and help us monitor their developing teeth and jaw.

Can I see my X-rays?

Absolutely. We’ll review your X-rays with you during your appointment and explain what we’re seeing. We can also provide copies if you need them for another dentist.

Will my insurance cover X-rays?

Most dental insurance plans cover routine X-rays as part of preventive care. Our front desk team will verify your benefits and let you know your out-of-pocket cost before your appointment.
