With lower radiation exposure and instant results, digital X-rays are an essential part of preventive dentistry.

Families from Fairfield West, Bossley Park, Prairiewood, Greenfield Park, and Wakeley trust our Wetherill Park clinic for professional dental imaging. Regular X-rays help ensure ongoing protection for your smile.

Why Digital X-Rays Are Important?

Dental X-rays play a vital role in preventive care because they allow dentists to see problems that cannot be detected with a visual exam alone. Using modern digital technology, X-rays are safe, fast, and highly accurate.

  • Early detection: Cavities, gum disease, and bone changes can be identified before symptoms appear.
  • High accuracy: Clear, detailed images support precise diagnosis and treatment planning.
  • Low radiation: Digital dental X-rays use up to 90% less radiation than traditional film.
  • Fast and convenient: Images appear instantly on screen for quick review.
  • Eco-friendly: No film or chemicals are required.

When Do You Need Dental X-Rays in Wetherill Park?

Your dentist may recommend digital dental X-rays if you:

  • Haven’t had a dental exam in more than a year
  • Experience tooth pain or sensitivity
  • Are preparing for orthodontic treatment (braces or clear aligners such as Invisalign®)
  • Need to check wisdom teeth or jawbone health
  • Are undergoing gum disease treatment

Types of Dental X-Rays We Provide

    Bitewing X-rays – These are the most common type of dental X-ray. They allow us to detect cavities between your teeth, check the fit of dental restorations such as fillings or crowns, and monitor the health of the supporting bone around your teeth. Bitewing X-rays are a key part of preventive dentistry, helping us catch problems early before they cause pain or require more complex treatment.

    Please note: At our Wetherill Park dental clinic, we do not provide periapical, panoramic, or 3D cone beam scans in-house. If needed, we will refer you to a trusted local imaging centre to ensure you receive the most accurate results.

      Frequently Asked Questions About Dental X-Rays in Wetherill Park

      Are dental X-rays safe?

      Digital dental X-rays use extremely low radiation levels, much lower than what you receive from natural exposure in a single day. In addition, modern imaging technology allows us to capture clear, detailed results quickly and safely. As a result, patients can feel confident knowing their examination is both accurate and gentle on their health.

      How often do I need dental X-rays?

      Most patients need dental X-rays every one to two years. However, those with a higher risk of decay or gum disease may require them more frequently. As a result, your dentist will tailor the X-ray schedule to your individual oral health needs.

      Do children need dental X-rays?

      Yes, children benefit from dental X-rays because they help monitor growth, assess cavity risk, and detect orthodontic needs safely. In addition, these images allow your dentist to identify hidden issues early, ensuring your child’s teeth and jaw develop properly. As a result, any potential problems can be treated before they become more serious.

      Do dental X-rays hurt?

      No, dental X-rays do not hurt. The process is quick, safe, and completely comfortable. In fact, children and adults usually don’t feel anything during the scan. Because the images are taken digitally, exposure time is short, and your dentist can review the results instantly to plan your care.

      Can I see my dental X-rays?

      Yes, your dentist will show you your dental X-rays during the appointment. In addition, they will explain what each image means so you can clearly understand your oral health. Seeing your X-rays helps you make informed decisions and stay confident about your treatment plan.
