Preventive Dentistry

Digital X-Rays

Modern digital imaging that uses dramatically less radiation and produces sharper, more accurate images.

Safer imaging, better diagnosis

Digital x-rays use up to 90 percent less radiation than traditional film x-rays and produce instant, high-resolution images Dr. Aiello can review with you on screen. That means faster diagnosis, less waiting, and a safer experience for you and your family.

Digital x-rays are an important part of every comprehensive exam, helping us find cavities between teeth, evaluate root health, and detect problems below the gum line. Call (708) 345-3440 to schedule your next visit.
