General Dentistry
Advanced dental imaging for precise diagnoses with lower-radiation digital technology.
Serving La Jolla & Chula Vista, CA.
Digital dental X-rays help our dentists see areas that are not visible during a regular exam, including cavities between teeth, bone levels, roots, impacted teeth, infections, and changes beneath existing restorations.
These dental radiographs may include bitewing X-rays for cavity detection, panoramic X-rays for wisdom teeth or broader jaw evaluation, or a full mouth series when more complete imaging is needed for diagnosis, treatment planning, or bone loss detection.
Digital X-rays are available at Elite Smiles of La Jolla and Elite Dental Care in Chula Vista for patients who need preventive exams, emergency diagnosis, treatment planning, or follow-up imaging.

| Question | Digital X-Rays | Traditional Film X-Rays |
|---|---|---|
| Image speed | Images appear quickly on screen for review and treatment planning. | Film requires chemical processing before images can be viewed. |
| Radiation exposure | Digital X-rays can use significantly less radiation than traditional film X-rays, depending on the type of image taken. | Film X-rays typically require more exposure than comparable digital imaging. |
| Diagnosis | Images can be enlarged, adjusted, and shared for clearer patient education. | Image adjustments and sharing are more limited. |
| Best use | Routine exams, emergencies, root checks, wisdom teeth, and restorative planning. | Older workflow that many offices have replaced with digital systems. |
