Digital Dental X-Rays

See What’s Beneath the Surface. Catch Problems Early.

Modern Imaging. Smarter Prevention.

Not all dental problems are visible to the naked eye. That’s why digital x-rays are a vital part of your dental care. At Vivid Dental of Raleigh, we use advanced imaging technology to detect what’s happening beneath the surface — so we can diagnose problems early, treat them effectively, and help you avoid pain, infection, or expensive emergency care down the road.
Our digital x-ray process is fast, precise, and low-radiation. Whether it’s your first visit or part of your routine care, x-rays help us deliver accurate, proactive treatment that protects both your smile and your health.

What Makes Digital X-Rays Better Than Traditional X-Rays?

We use state-of-the-art digital technology — not outdated film-based systems. That means:
Lower Radiation Exposure –

Digital x-rays require up to 90% less radiation than conventional methods.

Faster Results

Images appear instantly on-screen, so we can review and explain findings right away.

High-Resolution Detail

We get sharper, clearer images that help us diagnose with greater accuracy.

Environmentally Friendly

No chemicals, film, or physical waste.

Easier Record-Keeping and Sharing

Your x-rays are securely stored and can be easily shared with specialists if needed.

Why Digital X-Rays Are So Important
Many serious dental issues start in places you can’t see or feel — between teeth, beneath the gums, or inside the bone. X-rays help us detect:

Cavities between teeth

Bone loss from periodontal disease

image

Hidden infections or abscesses

image

Impacted wisdom teeth or emerging molars

image

Tooth fractures not visible during a visual exam

image

Root damage or nerve problems

Signs of cysts, tumors, or abnormal growths

Early detection means less invasive treatment, lower costs, and a better chance of saving natural teeth.

What to Expect During a Digital X-Ray Appointment

Digital dental x-rays are quick, painless, and stress-free. Here’s how it works:
Preparation

We’ll ask you to remove any metal objects (like earrings or glasses) that could interfere with imaging.

Positioning

You’ll be comfortably seated while our team gently places a small sensor in your mouth.

Imaging

The sensor captures detailed images in just seconds. Most patients only need 2–4 images, depending on their needs.

Review

Your dentist will immediately view the images on a screen, walk you through what we see, and explain any findings.

There’s no discomfort, no waiting, and no guessing — just clarity, from the inside out.

Safe for All Ages and Health Conditions

Our digital x-ray technology is designed with safety in mind for children, seniors, and those with complex medical histories. We use protective shields and the lowest exposure settings to ensure safety at every stage.
Your peace of mind is our priority — and we’re happy to answer any questions about the process, technology, or necessity of imaging in your care plan.
Safe for All Ages and Health Conditions

Trust the Technology. Trust the Team.

When you visit Vivid Dental of Raleigh, you’re not just getting a better picture of your teeth — you’re getting a clearer path to long-term oral health. Our technology supports our mission: to offer dentistry that’s thorough, informed, and always centered around you.
Call today to schedule your appointment, or ask us how digital x-rays can support your preventive care plan.

How Often Do You Need X-Rays?

The frequency of x-rays depends on your oral health, age, risk factors, and dental history. For most patients, we recommend:
Once a year for routine care
More frequently for those with gum disease, ongoing treatment, or a history of decay
During new patient exams to establish a full oral health baseline
Before procedures such as root canals, implants, or extractions
We’ll always explain the “why” behind every x-ray and never take more than is necessary for your care and safety.

You’re Not Too Late. You’re Right on Time.

If it’s been years since your last visit… if you’ve been living in pain… if you’ve been putting off care because you’re afraid of what we’ll find — we see you. And we’re here to walk with you through it all.

This is the place where you restart your oral health journey with a team that sees your worth, not your worries.
