Dental X-rays
Dental x-rays are an important part of maintaining your oral health. They allow your dentist to see what the naked eye can’t, especially with certain procedures. With x-rays, we can plan treatments more accurately, and keep your smile healthy for the long term.
Klinik Pergigian Shakirin comes equipped with a CBCT machine. Unlike traditional X-rays, a CBCT scan provides a detailed 3D view of your teeth, jawbone, nerves, and surrounding structures. This technology helps in finding issues like bone loss or impacted teeth, as well as planning for treatments like dental implants, orthodontics, and wisdom tooth extractions.
- Spots infections before spread
- Detects hidden cavities early
- Identifies bone loss and gum disease
- Monitors tooth and jaw development
- Guides accurate treatment planning
- Helps avoid costly dental procedures

When Do You Need a Dental X-ray
Even with the most careful visual exam, your dentist can only see what’s on the surface. Many dental problems start quietly beneath the enamel, in the roots, or even in the bone. Some of the hidden issues x-rays can reveal include:
Cavities between teeth – Tooth decay often begins in tight spaces where a mirror or probe can’t reach. By the time you feel pain, the cavity may already be deep.
Infections in the root or bone – An x-ray can spot signs of abscesses or infections long before they become painful or spread further.
Bone loss from gum disease – Gum disease doesn’t just affect your gums. Over time, it can weaken the jawbone that supports your teeth. X-rays help track this early.
Impacted wisdom teeth – Wisdom teeth that grow sideways or remain trapped under the gums can cause pain, infection, or crowding. X-rays show their exact position.
Your Dental X-ray Appointment
Getting dental x-rays is one of the easiest and quickest parts of a dental visit, here’s what you can expect when you come to your appointment:
Examination
Your dentist will first do a physical examination and ask about any issues to see if getting an x-ray would be necessary and which area needs a closer look.
Protection
You’ll be given an apron to shield your body from radiation. Modern digital x-rays already use very low levels, but your dentist still takes every precaution to keep you safe.
Positioning
A small sensor or film is placed inside your mouth. Your dental assistant will gently help you bite down or hold it in place. It might feel a little awkward, but it shouldn’t hurt.
Imaging
The x-ray machine will be positioned next to your cheek, and the image is taken. For some types of x-rays, you may stand and the machine rotates around your head while you stay still.
The entire process usually takes less than 5 minutes. It’s safe, fast, and gives your dentist critical information that simply can’t be seen with the naked eye.
