Digital X-rays
Digital X-rays in Miami, FL
Some dental concerns are not visible during a routine clinical examination. Digital imaging can provide additional information when it is appropriate.
At Smile By Isa, we offer personalized digital dental X-rays in Miami, FL. Dr. Isamary Herrera takes time to understand your concerns, examine your oral health, and explain which options may be appropriate.
Our goal is to help you make informed decisions about your oral health with comfortable, respectful, and individualized care.
What Is Digital X-rays?
Digital dental X-rays use electronic sensors to capture images of teeth and surrounding structures for diagnostic assessment.
The most appropriate approach depends on your condition, dental history, and long-term needs.
Depending on your individual needs, care may include:
- Review of Imaging Needs
- Bitewing X-Rays When Indicated
- Periapical Images When Indicated
- Assessment of Tooth Roots
- Evaluation of Bone Levels
- Review of Restorations and Decay
- Explanation of Imaging Findings
The right recommendation depends on your oral health, examination findings, and individual treatment goals.
Benefits of Digital X-rays
Reveal Hidden Dental Concerns
Images can reveal decay between teeth or other concerns not visible clinically.
Guide Treatment Planning
Radiographs may help plan restorations, extractions, or implant consultations.
Support Accurate Diagnosis
Images complement the dental examination and inform diagnostic decisions.
Create Images for Future Comparison
Comparing clinically indicated images over time can help monitor changes.
Assess Roots and Supporting Bone
Selected views help evaluate roots, infections, and supporting bone.
When Should You Consider Digital X-rays?
An evaluation may be recommended if you notice:
- You have tooth pain without a clear cause
- Decay is suspected between teeth
- A tooth may have an infection
- There is concern about bone levels
- A restoration needs closer evaluation
- You are considering an implant
- A tooth has experienced trauma

Not every symptom indicates the same condition. A dental examination can clarify the cause and whether treatment is appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions About Digital X-rays
What are digital dental X-rays?
Digital X-rays produce diagnostic dental images using electronic sensors rather than conventional film.
Are digital dental X-rays safe?
They involve ionizing radiation at relatively low doses. Images should be taken only when there is a clinical reason.
Do I need X-rays at every appointment?
No. The need for imaging depends on your oral health, symptoms, previous films, and decay or periodontal risk.
What can dental X-rays detect?
X-rays can help show decay between teeth, some infections, root anatomy, bone levels, and other findings not visible clinically.
Are X-rays needed for cavities?
Bitewing radiographs may help detect cavities between teeth or beneath certain restorations.
Can X-rays show infection?
Images may reveal changes around tooth roots suggesting infection, but diagnosis also requires a clinical examination.
Are dental X-rays painful?
Imaging is usually quick. The sensor may feel bulky, so let the team know if placement is uncomfortable.
Can I decline an X-ray?
You can discuss the reason for a recommended image and your concerns before consenting; declining may limit diagnosis.
What if I am pregnant?
Tell your dentist if you are pregnant. Necessary dental X-rays can generally be performed during pregnancy with appropriate clinical judgment.
