Digital Dental X-Ray & Diagnostics
High-definition, low-radiation imaging that enables our specialists to see beyond the tooth surface for accurate diagnosis in Shankhamul, Kathmandu.
What is a Digital Dental X-Ray?
A digital dental X-ray is an advanced diagnostic imaging technology that utilizes ultra-sensitive electronic sensors instead of traditional chemical film. It captures crystal-clear images of your teeth, roots, and jawbone instantly on our HD clinical monitors with zero waiting time.
Why are Dental X-Rays Essential?
Over 50% of serious dental issues—such as root canal infections, bone loss from gum disease, and interdental cavities—develop beneath the surface where visual inspection cannot reach. Digital radiography enables early detection before severe pain or tooth loss occurs.
When Do You Need an X-Ray?
We rely on digital imaging across various diagnostic workflows:
-
•
Routine Check-ups Annual screening to monitor bone levels and check for unseen decay.
-
•
Unexplained Tooth Pain Pinpointing the exact root nerve source of pain or swelling.
-
•
Root Canals & Implants Mapping root canal anatomy and measuring jawbone density for dental implants.
What Digital X-Rays Reveal
•Interdental Cavities
Decay forming between tight teeth where mirrors cannot reach.
•Periapical Abscesses
Infections and cysts developing at the root tips inside the jaw.
•Bone Density Loss
Measuring bone degradation caused by untreated periodontal disease.
•Impacted Wisdom Teeth
Determining exact angles and nerve proximity of trapped teeth.
Types of Digital X-Rays
• Periapical (IOPA) X-Ray
Captures the entire tooth from crown to root apex. Essential for diagnosing root canal infections and assessing bone health.
• Bitewing X-Ray
Displays upper and lower back teeth simultaneously. The clinical gold standard for detecting decay between molar teeth.
• Panoramic X-Ray (OPG)
A single wide scan of the entire upper and lower jaw, joints (TMJ), and sinuses. Used for implants, wisdom teeth, and orthodontics.
