Digital X-Rays & Intraoral Photography

Dental Imaging in Knoxville, TN – Digital X-Rays & Intraoral Photos

Great dental care starts with a clear view. At Cornerstone Dental Arts, our use of digital X-rays and intraoral photography allows us to diagnose issues with greater precision, monitor changes over time, and help you better understand your dental health.

We’ve invested in these modern imaging tools because they improve safety, efficiency, and comfort—all while helping us provide exceptional care that’s tailored to you.

What Are Digital X-Rays?

Digital X-rays use advanced sensors instead of traditional film to capture high-resolution images of your teeth, jawbone, and surrounding structures. These images appear instantly on-screen, allowing your dentist to zoom in, adjust contrast, and identify issues early.

Benefits of Digital X-Rays Include:

• Up to 90% less radiation than traditional X-rays

• Instant image viewing—no waiting or film processing

• Easier to share with specialists or for insurance documentation

• Enhanced accuracy in diagnosing decay, infection, bone loss, and more

Digital X-rays are typically taken once a year during routine checkups or more often if you’re experiencing specific issues.

What Is Intraoral Photography?

Intraoral cameras are small, pen-sized devices that capture high-quality images of the inside of your mouth. These photos are displayed in real time on a screen, allowing you to see what your dentist sees.

Why We Use Intraoral Photos:

• To show you areas of concern like cracks, decay, or gum inflammation

• To document conditions over time for monitoring and treatment planning

• To improve insurance communication and transparency in care

• To empower you with a visual understanding of your oral health

Intraoral photos are especially helpful for co-planning your treatment. When you can see a problem clearly, it’s easier to make informed decisions about next steps.

Comfortable, Safe & Transparent Care

Both digital X-rays and intraoral cameras are non-invasive and comfortable to use. Our team takes every step to ensure your safety while delivering the information we need to provide top-tier dental care.

Whether we’re identifying a cavity early or explaining a potential treatment, our imaging tools help you feel confident in your care—and give us a clearer path to keeping your smile healthy.
