Diagnostic X-RAYS
What We Do
Diagnostic dental X-rays are an essential part of preventive dental care. At Southern Family Dentistry, we use advanced digital X-ray technology to capture detailed images of your teeth, gums, and jaw. These high-resolution images allow our dentists to detect hidden problems early, protect your oral health, and create the most accurate treatment plans.
What to Expect During Your Visit
Our dental team will place a small sensor in your mouth to capture clear images in seconds. The process is quick, comfortable, and provides immediate results so we can review your images together and explain any findings. Regular diagnostic X-rays, combined with professional cleanings and exams, help maintain a healthy, problem-free smile.
