Dental X-Rays in Litomyšl

X-Rays and Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) for Safe & Accurate Diagnostics

When are dental X-rays needed?

Dental X-rays are one of the key diagnostic methods in modern dentistry. They help identify hidden pathologies of the teeth and jaw that are not visible during a regular visual examination.

X-ray examination is an important stage of diagnostics and treatment monitoring. It is necessary in the following cases:

  • Initial diagnostics – to assess the general condition of teeth and jaw before treatment.

  • Detection of hidden cavities that are not visible during a regular check-up.

  • Diagnosing infections – pulpitis, periodontitis, abscesses, cysts.

  • Before implant placement or tooth extraction – to evaluate bone condition.

  • Monitoring orthodontic treatment – determining the position of teeth.

  • Assessing roots and root canals before endodontic therapy.

  • Identifying trauma or jaw fractures after injury or accident.

Dental X-rays provide a complete overview of your oral health, helping the dentist select the most effective treatment strategy.

At Nova Smile Dental Clinic in Litomyšl, we use next-generation digital X-ray systems with minimal radiation and high image quality. This allows our doctors to make accurate diagnoses and create personalized treatment plans.

Types of dental X-rays available at Nova Smile Dental Clinic

  • Intraoral (targeted) X-ray:

    • Used to examine individual teeth or small areas of the jaw.
    • Helps assess cavity depth, root condition, and presence of inflammation.
    • Very low radiation dose, safe even for children.

  • IPanoramic X-ray (Orthopantomogram, OPG)

    • Captures the entire upper and lower jaw in one image.
    • Useful for full assessment of teeth, gums, and bone structure.
    • Commonly used before orthodontics, implants, or wisdom tooth extraction.

  • Cone Beam CT (3D X-ray, computed tomography)

    • 3D imaging of the jaw that provides detailed tissue structure.
    • Used before complex surgeries: implants, bone grafting, orthognathic surgery.
    • High accuracy and detail help minimize complications.

Thanks to advanced technology, we obtain high-quality images with minimal radiation exposure. The procedure is safe even for children and pregnant women (if no contraindications).

Radiation safety and exposure levels

Modern digital X-ray machines emit up to 90% less radiation than traditional devices. A single dental X-ray exposes you to only about 0.005 mSv of radiation – the same amount you naturally absorb during a few hours on a plane.
We also provide protective aprons and collars to ensure additional safety, even for children.

  • A single intraoral image exposes you to no more radiation than a regular day in nature.

  • A panoramic X-ray has a low exposure equivalent to a few hours in the sun.

  • Cone Beam CT uses a slightly higher dose of radiation compared to standard X-rays, but it is safe even for children and used only when truly necessary for accurate diagnosis.
