What Are Bitewing and Periapical X-rays?
Bitewing X-rays show the upper and lower teeth in one area, helping us detect cavities between teeth and monitor bone levels. Periapical X-rays go deeper, showing the full length of the tooth and root to identify infections, abscesses, or structural issues.
Both are essential for diagnosis, especially when you’re experiencing symptoms like pain, swelling, or sensitivity.
Dental X-rays, Done Differently
We use the most modern digital technology to make X-rays safer, faster, and more comfortable for you:
- Low-radiation digital imaging for a safer experience
- Fast results with minimal discomfort or positioning
- Clear visuals that help you understand what we see
Bitewing and periapical X-rays are typically covered under the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), and we’ll help you confirm eligibility in advance. If your exam possibly leads to follow-up treatment, we’ll guide you through every step, with payment plans available if needed. And for patients who feel uneasy, our calm, step-by-step approach helps keep stress low and comfort high.
