Treatment Overview
What is a digital (RVG) X-ray?
RVG (radiovisiography) uses a small digital sensor instead of film. The image appears on a computer screen within seconds, can be enlarged to see fine detail, and is easy to store and compare later.
Digital X-rays generally need less radiation than traditional film X-rays. The dentist takes X-rays only when they are needed for diagnosis or treatment.
Common Types of Dental X-Rays
Single teeth
Hidden decay
Whole mouth
1
IOPA (periapical)
Shows one or two teeth from crown to root tip. Used for pain, infection and root canal treatment.
2
Bitewing
Shows the crowns of the upper and lower back teeth. Used to find decay between teeth.
3
OPG (panoramic)
One image of all the teeth and jaws. Used for wisdom teeth, braces and implant planning.
