Dental X-Rays in Midland
Safe, accurate, and modern diagnostic care
At Helena Street Dental in Midland, we use digital dental X-rays to help detect and diagnose oral health issues that can’t always be seen during a visual examination. This technology allows us to provide accurate assessments while keeping your comfort and safety at the forefront of every visit.
What are digital dental X-rays?
Digital X-rays use advanced imaging sensors instead of traditional film to capture detailed images of your teeth, gums, and jaw.
They’re quick, efficient, and emit significantly less radiation — up to 90% lower than conventional X-rays — making them a safe diagnostic tool for patients of all ages.
Why are dental X-rays important?
Dental X-rays allow your dentist to identify potential issues early, before they cause discomfort or require more complex treatment. They’re commonly used to assess:
- Decay between teeth or beneath existing fillings
- Bone loss or gum recession from periodontal disease
- Infections, abscesses, or cysts in the jaw
- Cracked or fractured teeth
- Tooth and root positions before restorative or orthodontic treatment
- Impacted teeth, such as wisdom teeth
By identifying these problems early, we can plan the most appropriate and conservative treatment for your needs.
Are dental X-rays safe?
Yes. Modern digital X-ray systems are designed with patient safety in mind. They produce very low radiation levels — often comparable to the amount you’re exposed to naturally in the environment each day.
Protective shielding, such as lead aprons, is used when necessary to ensure even greater safety.
We only take X-rays when clinically necessary, following Australian dental safety guidelines.
How often do I need dental X-rays?
The frequency of X-rays depends on your individual oral health needs, age, and risk of dental disease.
For most patients, X-rays are taken every one to two years, though some people may need them more often to monitor ongoing conditions or treatment progress.
Your dentist will always discuss the need for X-rays with you before proceeding.
