Advanced Digital X-Rays in Palm Desert
Dental radiographs (x-rays) are essential, preventative, diagnostic tools that provide valuable information not visible during a regular dental exam. Dentists and dental hygienists use this information to safely and accurately detect hidden dental abnormalities and complete an accurate treatment plan. Without x-rays, problem areas may go undetected.
At Dell’Acqua Choi Dental Studio, we use state-of-the-art digital X-ray technology—including CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography)—to capture highly detailed images of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures with minimal radiation exposure. These advanced tools help us detect issues that may not be visible during a regular dental exam, allowing for safer, more accurate diagnosis and treatment planning..
Why Are Dental X-Rays and CBCT Imaging Important?
Many oral health problems develop below the surface, where they can’t be seen with the naked eye. Our advanced imaging technology helps us detect:
- Abscesses or cysts – Hidden infections that may cause swelling or pain
- Bone loss – A key sign of periodontal disease or other structural changes
- Tumors (cancerous and non-cancerous) – Early detection can be life-saving
- Tooth decay – Especially between teeth or under existing restorations
- Developmental abnormalities – Issues with jaw or tooth alignment
- Impacted teeth and root positioning – Helps evaluate wisdom teeth or orthodontic needs
- TMJ and sinus-related concerns – Assessed more thoroughly with CBCT technology
What Is CBCT Imaging?
CBCT (Cone Beam) technology offers a 3D view of your teeth, bone, and soft tissue, giving us a complete picture of your oral health. It’s especially helpful for:
- Dental implant planning
- Root canal evaluation
- Jawbone assessment
- Oral surgery and complex cases
With this level of precision, we can catch issues early—before they turn into bigger (and more expensive) problems.
