Digital X-Rays in Downtown Chicago
Digital x-rays are used to examine the inside of your teeth and surrounding bone, helping us catch problems that aren’t visible to the naked eye. Using advanced radiology, our team can see which teeth are developing cavities and identify teeth or gum areas that may require additional care.
Because digital x-rays use significantly less radiation than traditional film, they’re a safe and efficient way to keep an eye on your long-term oral health. Call (312) 663-1890 with any questions about your next visit.
