Digital Dental X-Rays in Red Bank, NJ
Safe, Fast & Precise Imaging for Better Oral Health
At Wellness Dental of Red Bank, we use digital X-ray technology to make your dental care safer, faster, and more accurate. These high-definition images help us detect issues early, plan treatment precisely, and monitor changes over time—all with significantly less radiation exposure than traditional film X-rays.
As a trusted Red Bank dentist, we’re proud to offer modern diagnostic tools that improve your experience and your outcomes.
What Are Digital Dental X-Rays?
Digital X-rays use electronic sensors instead of film to capture detailed images of your teeth, gums, and jaw. The images appear instantly on a chairside monitor, allowing us to review, diagnose, and explain findings with you in real time.
We use different types of digital X-rays depending on your needs:
- Bitewing X-rays – detect cavities between teeth
- Periapical X-rays – examine individual teeth from root to crown
- Panoramic X-rays – capture the entire mouth in one image
- 3D CBCT scans – offer even more detail for procedures like dental implants
Benefits of Digital X-Rays
Digital radiography provides several key advantages:
- Up to 90% less radiation than film X-rays
- Immediate results with no waiting for film to develop
- Sharable digital files for second opinions or insurance needs
- Enhanced image quality for better diagnostic accuracy
- Eco-friendly with no chemical processing or waste
Our patients love how easy and comfortable the process is—most scans take just seconds to complete.
When Are X-Rays Needed?
X-rays are an essential part of preventive and diagnostic care. We may take digital X-rays to:
- Detect early signs of decay or bone loss
- Assess the health of roots and surrounding bone
- Plan root canals or surgical procedures
- Evaluate growth and development in children or teens
- Monitor wisdom teeth or orthodontic needs
X-rays are typically recommended once a year or as needed based on your dental history and symptoms.
Safe for Children, Adults & Seniors
Digital X-rays are safe for patients of all ages, including children and those who are pregnant (with proper shielding). We follow strict safety protocols and use lead aprons to minimize exposure further.
Our doctors—Dr. Vipul Patel, Dr. Mina Salib, and Dr. Krishna Sureshkumar—use these images to diagnose issues early, saving you time, discomfort, and money down the road.
Included in Preventive & Restorative Visits
Whether you're here for a routine cleaning and exam, emergency care, or a more complex restorative plan, digital imaging plays a vital role in accurate, proactive care.
We never take unnecessary X-rays and will always explain when and why they’re needed.
Insurance Coverage & Transparent Costs
Most dental insurance plans cover digital X-rays as part of your preventive visit. For patients without insurance, we keep our pricing transparent and offer financing options through CareCredit and Cherry for added convenience.
