Digital X-rays near you
At Cookstown Dental Centre, we use advanced digital X-ray technology to help care for your smile. This equipment lets us see what is happening inside your teeth, around the roots, and beneath the gums—areas that cannot be assessed with the naked eye alone. Digital imaging makes X-rays accessible and convenient for patients from Cookstown, Innisfil, Barrie, Bradford, and nearby communities.

What are digital X-rays?
Digital X-rays are detailed images of your teeth and jaw captured with electronic sensors. Instead of developing traditional film, the sensor sends each image directly to a computer. The result appears on the monitor immediately, where the dental team can enlarge it, review details, and discuss the findings with you.

When are digital X-rays needed?
Your dentist may recommend digital X-rays during a checkup or before treatment to:
- Detect cavities that are too small or hidden to see during a visual examination.
- Check for bone loss related to gum disease.
- Examine wisdom teeth or developing teeth in children.
- Inspect tooth roots and the jaw before braces, dental implants, extractions, or other care.
Benefits of digital X-rays
Less radiation
Digital X-rays can use substantially less radiation than conventional film-based systems.
Clear images
Sharp, detailed images help the dentist identify cavities, infections, changes in bone, and other concerns at an earlier stage.
Instant results
Images appear on the computer right away, allowing the dentist to explain your oral health during the same visit.
Easy storage and sharing
Digital files can be saved with your clinical record, compared over time, and shared securely with a specialist when needed.
What to expect during your digital X-ray
Taking a digital X-ray is usually quick and straightforward. A small sensor is placed in your mouth for a few seconds while you bite gently or remain still. Each image takes only a moment to capture. The type and number of images depend on your age, oral health, symptoms, and treatment needs.
