Dental radiology services refer to the use of imaging technologies like X-rays, panoramic radiographs (OPG), and cone-beam CT (CBCT) scans to examine teeth, jawbones, and surrounding structures. These are essential for diagnosing cavities, gum disease, impacted teeth, root infections, and planning treatments like braces, implants, or extractions.

You might need dental radiology if:

You’re experiencing unexplained tooth pain or swelling

You’re planning for orthodontic treatment or dental implants

Your dentist needs to assess bone loss or wisdom teeth position

You’re due for a routine dental check-up with X-rays

Modern dental imaging is quick, low-radiation, and highly accurate. Many advanced centers, like RIDC in Dubai, offer high-resolution digital dental scans with minimal discomfort. Always ask your dentist which type of scan is appropriate for your case.
