Dental X-Rays and Imaging in Temecula, CA
Picture this: a healthier, happier smile. Dental X-rays are designed to provide your dentist a comprehensive image of your mouth. This allows your dentist to discover hidden issues before they develop into serious problems.
What are Dental X-rays and Imaging?
Dental X-rays and imaging are diagnostic tools that allow dentists to see the inside of your mouth and teeth. By capturing detailed images, dental X-rays help the dentist visualize dental problems that cannot be seen with a simple oral exam, such as cavities, tooth decay, and gum disease. If an issue is caught early, it can improve treatment outcomes and chances of cure.
Who Needs Dental X-rays and Imaging?

- People with a history of dental problems
- People with a history of gum disease
