Dental X-ray
Modern diagnostics for the health of your teeth.
Dental X-rays, also known as dental radiographs, are an indispensable part of modern stomatological diagnostics. They allow us to obtain accurate and detailed images of the teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures, enabling us to quickly detect problems that would remain hidden during a routine examination.
X-ray images are crucial in planning treatments for cavities, extractions, implants, fixed prosthetics, but also during regular preventative check-ups.
When do we perform X-rays?
We perform X-rays whenever it is necessary:
detect tooth decay under a filling or in hard-to-reach areas.

analyze the condition of root canals during endodontic treatment.

Our Work – Before and After
Digital Technology – Less Radiation, More Precision
At our dental clinics in Prague, we use modern digital X-ray and 3D CBCT technologies that significantly reduce radiation exposure (up to 90%) while simultaneously providing results of the highest quality.
Thanks to these systems, we can create within seconds:
intraoral image (small detailed image of a specific tooth).

Important Note: Dental X-ray examinations are always performed with maximum consideration for safety and minimal radiation exposure. Modern digital X-rays and precise beam targeting minimize exposure to only the necessary area. This list is general and indicative. Each case is individual, and the need for an X-ray image is always decided by a dentist based on clinical examination and your medical history. It is always crucial to inform your dentist of your complete medical history and current health status, including any pregnancy, so they can choose the safest and most effective approach.
