Digital Dental X-Rays in Grandville, MI
Dental X-rays are an essential diagnostic tool that allows us to see what's happening inside and between your teeth, below the gum line, and in the surrounding bone — areas that are impossible to evaluate with a visual exam alone.
At Grandville Dental Health Center, we use digital X-ray technology that produces high-quality images with up to 90% less radiation than traditional film X-rays. Digital X-rays are also faster, more comfortable, and can be instantly viewed on a chairside monitor so we can walk you through your results in real time.
Benefits
- Detect cavities between teeth before they become visible
- Evaluate bone levels and detect bone loss
- Identify infections and abscesses
- Assess developing teeth in children
- Up to 90% less radiation than traditional X-rays
What to Expect
X-rays are quick and comfortable. Small sensors are placed in your mouth and an X-ray beam is directed at the area being imaged. The entire process takes just a few minutes. We'll review your X-rays with you and explain any findings.

Are dental X-rays safe?
Yes. Digital dental X-rays emit a very small amount of radiation — far less than a cross-country flight or a day in the sun. We follow the ALARA principle and only take X-rays when clinically necessary.
How often do I need dental X-rays?
The frequency depends on your individual risk factors. Most adults with no active dental problems have bitewing X-rays taken every 12–24 months.
Can I have X-rays if I'm pregnant?
We generally avoid routine X-rays during pregnancy. However, if you have a dental emergency, X-rays can be taken safely with proper shielding. Always let us know if you are pregnant.
