Digital 2D and 3D Dental X-Rays in Encinitas

Two-dimensional dental X-rays provide detailed views of individual teeth, tooth roots, bone levels, and areas between teeth. Three-dimensional cone beam imaging creates a broader view of teeth, jaws, sinuses, nerves, and surrounding structures and may be recommended for implant planning, complex anatomy, or other specific diagnostic needs. Dr. Cortadi selects the type and frequency of imaging after considering your age, dental history, symptoms, clinical findings, and previous images. Our digital systems are designed to obtain diagnostically useful images while limiting exposure to what is clinically necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental X-Rays

What are the different types of teeth x-rays performed at Ablantis Dental?

Ablantis Dental uses both 2D and 3D dental imaging because they answer different clinical questions. Standard digital images are often used to look for cavities, examine roots, assess bone levels, or evaluate a specific tooth. Cone beam 3D imaging may be recommended when a broader anatomical view is needed, such as for dental implant planning or evaluation of complex structures. Not every patient needs every type of image.

Before taking an X-ray, Dr. Cortadi and our team review your symptoms, dental history, existing images, and clinical findings. The recommended image and timing depend on the diagnostic information needed. Please tell us if you are pregnant or may be pregnant so we can consider that information when planning your care.
