Because many dental concerns start below the surface, X-rays can be an important part of protecting your smile over time. At Eberhard Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, our dentist and team use digital X-rays in Utica, Michigan, to support accurate evaluations and a more efficient patient experience. Dr. David Eberhard recommends imaging only when it is appropriate, then explains findings in plain language so you understand what we see and why it matters.
Digital X-rays are designed to be fast and comfortable. The images appear quickly, which means we can review them with you during your visit.
