Digital X-Rays
North Shore Dental Practice uses state-of-the-art digital x-ray technology to enhance your dental care experience. Digital x-rays capture detailed internal pictures of your teeth and gums using digital sensors instead of traditional film.
These high-resolution images appear instantly on our computer screens, allowing for immediate analysis and discussion of your oral health. Digital x-rays emit about 90 per cent less radiation than conventional x-rays, making them safer for our patients. Plus, they're environmentally friendly, as no chemicals are needed for processing.

Panoramic X-Ray
Our Gordon dentists rely on advanced panoramic x-ray technology to provide comprehensive dental imaging. In a single image, this innovative system captures a 360-degree view of your entire mouth, including the surrounding structures of your teeth and jaw joints.
Panoramic x-rays are quick, comfortable and emit less radiation than traditional dental x-rays. They're invaluable for detecting issues like impacted wisdom teeth, jaw disorders and even some sinus problems. This broader view aids in thorough diagnosis and efficient treatment planning for our patients.
