Trust Onyx Dentistry for accurate, gentle, and proactive care that protects your smile for years to come.
Digital X-rays and oral screenings are essential parts of modern preventive dentistry. They allow your dentist to detect issues early—before they cause discomfort or require complex treatment. Digital X-rays provide high-resolution images of your teeth, gums, and jaw with significantly less radiation than traditional film. Oral screenings help identify signs of oral cancer, gum disease, or other abnormalities that may not be visible to the eye.
At Onyx Dentistry in Vaughan, we combine both tools during your routine exams to ensure a complete picture of your oral health. These advanced, safe, and quick diagnostics allow our team to deliver accurate care and protect your smile with confidence.
At Onyx Dentistry, digital imaging and oral screenings are key to early detection and prevention. They help keep your smile healthy, your treatments conservative, and your peace of mind intact.
Digital X-rays reveal cavities, bone loss, infections, and impacted teeth long before they cause symptoms.
Both X-rays and screenings take only minutes and are completely comfortable for patients of all ages.
Regular oral screenings help detect early signs of oral cancer and other soft tissue changes—ensuring timely treatment and better outcomes.
We prioritize your safety and diagnostic accuracy with our state-of-the-art approach:
Digital X-Rays: We use digital sensors that require up to 90% less radiation than traditional film X-rays, making them incredibly safe. Images are instantly available on a screen for immediate review and discussion.
The Oral Cancer Screening: This simple, painless process takes less than five minutes. It involves two parts: Visual Exam (checking the lips, cheeks, tongue, and throat for red or white patches) and Tactile Exam (gently feeling the neck and jaw for any unusual lumps or firm areas).
The cost of digital X-rays and an oral screening depends on factors such as the number of images needed, your age, and whether the appointment is for a new or returning patient. At Onyx Dentistry in Vaughan, we’ll provide a personalized estimate after your evaluation.
We accept most dental insurance plans and the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), and we offer direct billing for your convenience.
