Dental x-rays are an essential diagnostic tool that allows us to see what's happening beneath the surface of your teeth and gums. We use modern digital x-ray technology that produces high-quality images with significantly reduced radiation exposure.
Why X-rays Are Important
Many dental problems are hidden from visual examination. X-rays reveal decay between teeth, infections at the root, bone loss from gum disease, impacted teeth, cysts and tumours, and the position of teeth not yet erupted. Early detection means earlier, simpler treatment.
Digital X-ray Technology
We use state-of-the-art digital x-ray equipment that provides instant, high-resolution images while reducing radiation exposure by up to 90% compared to traditional film x-rays. Images can be enhanced for better diagnosis and easily stored in your digital records.
Types of Dental X-rays
We use different types of x-rays depending on what we need to see: bitewing x-rays for detecting decay between teeth, periapical x-rays for viewing entire teeth including roots, and panoramic x-rays for a comprehensive view of all teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures.
Safety and Frequency
Dental x-rays are very safe, with radiation exposure comparable to the amount received from natural background sources in a single day. We only take x-rays when clinically necessary and always use protective lead aprons to minimise exposure further.
Calm and relaxed atmosphere right from the door. Friendly receptionist and a warm welcome from Geeta the dentist. Put my mind at rest straightaway about procedures and practices at the surgery. Geeta explained everything in detail after an examination of my teeth that was probably the most explorative check I've ever had in all my years. No hard sell and a genuine authentic explanation of my teeth (and related oral health). High tech equipment and no uncomfortable processes to map teeth and gums. In my views this is a totally professional service that's almost worth looking forward to.
Form is everything that a dental practice should be! I was nervous before attending but Laura and Andrea were professional and kind and put me at ease. Highly recommended!
This is hands down the best dentist I have ever visited in my life. It's like being at a 5 star resort/spa. They take a great deal of care ensuring the patient understands the rationale behind the treatment plan and procedures. Their equipment is state of the art and the team working there are simply great. I am so happy to have come across this dental practice.
Wonderful experience at Form Dental from start to finish. Welcoming receptionist in a calm, tranquil environment, followed by the most informative, caring yet professional hygienist appointment with Teresa, that I have ever experienced. So attentive to individual needs and concerns, including demonstration of correct flossing and brushing techniques. Cannot recommend highly enough.
Recently found this dentist and from walking in the welcome, the service and as you are leaving all is 10 out of 10. Gita (Dentist) is by far the best I have come across, takes time to explain all you need to know and with genuine care, and of course Andrea (assistant) also top notch. Together they are number one in the business. Highly recommend
So impressed with my friendly, knowledgeable dentist and the helpful and thorough appointment - lots of great advice. A beautiful clinic with great equipment and, best of all, they were brilliant with my 2 year old and even put tractors on the TV to make him feel welcome. Thank you so much!
