Dental X-Rays
Dental X-Rays in High Point, NC
Dental x-rays work by creating an image of the denser parts of your body, such as teeth and bone, revealing dental problems that may not be apparent to the naked eye. At Dr. David Novak DDS, we use this technology to detect and treat various disorders, such as cavities, infections, misalignment, and decay, in their early stages. Relatively easy and pain-free, dental X-rays are the fastest way to locate and identify a problem before it has a chance to cause extensive damage to your smile.
Dental X-rays have come a long way over the years, improving in accuracy, speed, comfort, and clarity. We use state-of-the-art equipment to ensure your dental exam is thorough and pain-free!
