Digital X-Rays

Blue Jay Family Dentistry uses digital X-rays to help Dr. Nickolas Felten catch cavities and concerns early, with less radiation.

What Is a Digital X-Ray?

A digital X-ray uses an electronic sensor instead of traditional film to capture images of your teeth and gums. Results appear on screen instantly, letting Dr. Felten review your oral health right away and explain any findings during the same visit. This immediate feedback helps you understand exactly what is happening beneath the surface of your smile.

What Digital X-Rays Offer

Cavity Detection

Digital X-rays reveal decay between teeth and beneath the surface that is not visible during a regular exam.

Bone Health Monitoring

X-rays track the health of the bone supporting your teeth, helping detect issues like bone loss early.

Low-Radiation Imaging

Digital sensors require significantly less radiation exposure than traditional film-based X-rays.

Instant Digital Results

Images appear on screen within seconds, so Dr. Felten can review your results during the same visit.

Treatment Planning Accuracy

Clear digital images support more precise planning for fillings, crowns, and other treatments.

Routine Preventive Screening

Regular X-rays are part of routine preventive care, helping catch problems before they become bigger issues.

The Importance of Digital X-Rays

Many dental issues are invisible to the naked eye until they become more serious. Catching Problems Early: Digital X-rays can reveal decay, infection, or bone loss long before you notice any symptoms. Reduced Radiation Exposure: Compared to traditional film, digital X-rays use a fraction of the radiation, making them a safer option for regular use. Supporting Better Treatment Decisions: Clear, detailed images give Dr. Felten the information needed to recommend the most effective, least invasive treatment.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Consult was great, service was top notch & pricing was fair.  Dr Felten and staff were a great find in the neighborhood.  I used to drive 45 minutes to my dentist for years, I wish I would’ve called them sooner.  They don’t disappoint

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am a senior citizen who had a troublesome wisdom tooth that needed to come out. My experience was good and the results are great so far. To say I was cautious about the whole procedure is an understatement; but Dr. Felton and his assistant went above board to assure my comfort. Many,  many thanks.
