Fluoride Treatments in NYC | Strengthen & Protect Your Smile

If your teeth are sensitive, prone to cavities, or in need of added protection, fluoride treatment is one of the simplest and most effective ways to reinforce your smile. At 65 Broadway Dental in NYC, we offer professional fluoride treatments that protect enamel, prevent tooth decay, and reduce tooth sensitivity, making it easier to maintain strong, healthy teeth for life.

Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that works by strengthening enamel and reversing the early stages of tooth decay before they become cavities. While fluoride is present in many types of toothpaste and even public water, professional treatments provide a higher concentration for maximum protection. Whether you’re a child with developing teeth or an adult with a history of fillings, fluoride is a smart preventive step to take.

Why Choose Fluoride Treatment at 65 Broadway Dental?

Our fluoride treatments are quick, comfortable, and tailored to your individual oral health needs. Here’s why more New Yorkers trust our team for this preventive service:

• Strong Enamel Protection

  Our fluoride formulas harden and remineralize enamel, creating a protective barrier against decay-causing acids and sugars.

• Fast & Painless

  The procedure takes just a few minutes, is entirely non-invasive, and requires no numbing, drilling, or discomfort.

• Ideal for All Ages

  Fluoride benefits everyone—from children developing new teeth to adults with dental restorations, gum recession, or orthodontic appliances.

• Part of Preventive Care

  When included in your routine dental visits, fluoride treatments help reduce your long-term dental costs by preventing future cavities.

• Convenient NYC Location

  Located in the Financial District, we offer flexible scheduling and quick appointments that work with your busy city lifestyle.

What Causes Tooth Decay?

Tooth decay occurs when the enamel—the hard outer layer of your teeth—is weakened by acids produced by bacteria in plaque. These acids erode the enamel over time, eventually creating small holes or cavities.

Common causes include:

• Frequent sugar or acid intake (soda, candy, juice)
• Inconsistent brushing and flossing
• Dry mouth or low saliva production
• Wearing braces, retainers, or dentures
• Receding gums exposing root surfaces
• Chronic health conditions like diabetes or GERD
• Genetic predisposition to weaker enamel or decay

Even if you brush and floss regularly, fluoride adds a vital layer of protection that can slow, stop, or reverse the early stages of decay.

Is Fluoride Treatment Right for You?

Fluoride treatment is a preventive solution that fits into nearly any dental care plan. It’s especially valuable if you:

• Are prone to cavities or have fillings from past decay
• Experience tooth sensitivity to cold, heat, or sweets
• Have exposed roots due to gum recession
• Wear orthodontic appliances that trap plaque
• Want to strengthen enamel between cleanings
• Are undergoing cosmetic dentistry like veneers or crowns and want extra protection

Adults and seniors benefit just as much as children. In fact, fluoride can help protect dental work like crowns, bridges, and implants by reducing decay around their edges.

Not sure if fluoride is right for you? Our team will perform a comprehensive assessment and help you decide based on your cavity risk, lifestyle, and oral hygiene habits.

How Fluoride Treatment Works

Professional fluoride application is fast and effective, usually completed during your regular cleaning appointment. Here’s how it works:

• • 1. Oral Health Evaluation

    We start with a thorough dental exam to assess the health of your teeth and gums. Using digital imaging and cavity risk assessments, we determine if fluoride treatment is beneficial for your specific needs.

  • 2. Fluoride Application

    We apply a concentrated fluoride varnish, foam, or gel to your teeth using a soft brush or tray. The treatment takes only 1–2 minutes and is completely painless. The fluoride quickly adheres to your teeth and begins working to remineralize weakened areas.

  • 3. Post-Treatment Instructions

    After the application, we typically ask you to avoid eating or drinking for about 30 minutes to allow the fluoride to fully absorb into your enamel. The protective benefits can last several months.

For patients at higher risk, we may recommend more frequent fluoride treatments—every 3 to 6 months, depending on your oral health needs.

Night Guards in NYC | Protect Your Smile While You stroke-linecap

If you wake up with jaw pain, headaches, or chipped teeth, you might be grinding or clenching your teeth at night, also known as bruxism. At 65 Broadway Dental in NYC, we offer custom-made night guards that protect your teeth, relieve discomfort, and help you sleep more peacefully.

Unlike over-the-counter mouthguards, our night guards are precisely designed to fit your bite and address your unique symptoms. Whether you’ve noticed signs of wear or your partner hears you grinding in your sleep, a night guard may be the simple solution to preserve your smile and avoid long-term damage.

Why Choose a Night Guard at 65 Broadway Dental?

A custom night guard is more than just a plastic barrier—it’s preventive dentistry in action. Here’s why patients in NYC trust 65 Broadway Dental:

• Comfortable Custom Fit

  We use advanced digital impressions to craft a guard that fits snugly and comfortably without slipping or interfering with your breathing or sleep.

• Protects Against Tooth Damage

  Bruxism can wear down enamel, cause fractures, and even loosen teeth. A night guard acts as a cushion to absorb grinding forces and prevent damage.

• Ease Jaw Muscle Tension

  Night guards help relax the muscles around your jaw, reducing TMJ pain, morning headaches, and stiffness when you wake up.

• Durable Long-Lasting

  Made from high-quality materials, our guards can withstand years of nightly use. They’re easy to clean and maintain for long-term protection.

• NYC Accessibility

  Our Financial District office makes it easy to schedule a consultation or pick up your custom night guard during a busy workday.

What Causes Nighttime Grinding and Clenching?

Bruxism can be caused by a variety of factors, often without you even realizing it. Common causes include:

• Emotional tension is one of the top triggers for jaw clenching during sleep.
• Conditions like sleep apnea or insomnia may be linked to nighttime grinding.
• When your teeth don’t align properly, your muscles may try to “correct” the imbalance during sleep.
• Caffeine, alcohol, or certain medications can increase your risk of bruxism.
• Less commonly, grinding may be associated with neurological or muscular disorders.

Without treatment, bruxism can worsen over time, leading to cracked teeth, enamel erosion, gum recession, and chronic jaw pain.

Is a Night Guard Right for You?

A custom night guard may be recommended if you:

• Wake up with jaw pain, headaches, or tooth soreness
• Have visible signs of enamel wear or cracked fillings
• Experience facial tension or tightness
• Hear popping or clicking in your jaw
• Clench your jaw during the day or grind your teeth at night

Night guards are also ideal for patients with dental restorations, like veneers, crowns, or bridges, who want to protect their investment from damage.

During your visit, we’ll evaluate your bite, jaw joints, and dental wear to determine if a night guard is the right solution. If so, we’ll create a personalized appliance to protect your teeth and improve your quality of sleep.

How Night Guards Work

Getting a custom night guard is a quick and painless process, typically completed in two visits:

• • 1. Digital Impressions & Evaluation

    We begin with a comprehensive exam, including digital scans of your teeth and bite. This helps us understand your jaw alignment and pressure points. We also review symptoms like grinding, clenching, or jaw pain.

  • 2. Custom Fabrication

    Your night guard is custom-made in a dental lab from a durable, lightweight material. Depending on your needs, we’ll design a soft, hard, or hybrid guard that fits perfectly and withstands grinding forces.

  • 3. Fitting & Instructions

    When your guard is ready, we’ll check the fit, make adjustments for comfort, and show you how to wear and clean it properly. Most patients adapt quickly and notice relief within days of consistent use.

    Using Digital Smile Design (DSD) software, we create a digital mock-up of your new smile. You’ll see a preview of the final result and have a say in your new look before we start.

  • 3. Customized Treatment Plan

    Your plan may include a combination of treatments such as teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, Invisalign®, crowns, bonding, or gum contouring. We tailor the plan to your goals, timeline, and budget.

  • 4. Smile Transformation

    We carry out your treatments in a carefully planned sequence for maximum comfort and efficiency. Most patients see dramatic changes in just a few visits.

  • 5. Final Reveal & Maintenance

    Once your treatment is complete, we review your results, take final photos, and provide guidance on how to maintain your stunning new smile for years to come.

Oral Exams in NYC | Preventive Dental Checkups

Staying ahead of dental problems starts with a simple step: regular oral exams. At 65 Broadway Dental in NYC, we offer comprehensive oral exams that protect your smile, prevent future issues, and help you maintain lifelong oral health. Located in the Financial District, our office makes it easy to prioritize your dental care without interrupting your busy schedule.

It’s more than a quick look; it’s a proactive investment in your well-being.

Why Choose 65 Broadway Dental for Oral Exams?

At 65 Broadway Dental, oral exams aren’t just routine—they’re a cornerstone of your long-term dental health. Here’s why patients trust us:

• Thorough Personalized Evaluations

  We don’t rush. Our dentists take the time to assess your dental history, lifestyle, and specific concerns. Every oral exam is personalized to detect issues early and keep your care on track.

• Advanced Technology

  We use digital X-rays, intraoral cameras, and diagnostic tools to get the clearest view of your teeth and gums, allowing us to spot cavities, bone loss, or other concerns that might be invisible to the naked eye.

• Clear Communication

  You’ll never leave with unanswered questions. We explain what we see, what it means, and how to move forward if any treatment is needed. Our goal is transparency and comfort.

• NYC Convenience

  Located in Lower Manhattan, we offer flexible scheduling that fits around your work, errands, or commute. We’re proud to make dental care more accessible for busy New Yorkers.

What Do Oral Exams Include?

Your oral exam at 65 Broadway Dental is a complete health screening for your mouth. Here’s what it typically includes:

• We examine every tooth for signs of decay, cracks, wear, or other abnormalities.
• We measure the space between your teeth and gums to detect signs of gingivitis or periodontal disease.
• Your jaw alignment, bite pattern, and TMJ (jaw joint) function are reviewed for signs of dysfunction or stress.
• A quick but vital part of the exam, we check your tongue, cheeks, and soft tissue for any abnormalities or early signs of cancer.
• If needed, low-radiation digital X-rays reveal what’s happening beneath the surface, like bone loss, hidden decay, or impacted teeth.

These exams are typically part of your bi-annual cleaning appointment, but they can also be scheduled separately if you’re experiencing a specific concern.

What Can Oral Exams Help Detect?

Oral exams are the first line of defense against dental problems that can become painful or expensive if left untreated. During your visit, we can detect:

• Early cavities before they cause pain
• Gum disease at reversible stages
• Cracked or worn teeth from grinding or clenching
• Oral infections or abscesses
• Signs of oral cancer or precancerous lesions
• Alignment and bite issues
• Wisdom teeth concerns
• Wear patterns that suggest bad habits or stress

Many of these conditions develop silently, without obvious symptoms. That’s why seeing your dentist regularly matters, even when everything feels fine.

Are Oral Exams Right for You?

The answer is almost always yes. Oral exams are recommended for:

• Adults maintaining their dental health
• Children and teens with growing smiles
• Seniors with restorations or dentures
• Patients undergoing orthodontic or cosmetic treatments
• Anyone experiencing tooth sensitivity, pain, or bleeding gums

If it’s been more than six months since your last dental checkup, you’re due for an exam. Our team is here to make the process simple, judgment-free, and completely tailored to your needs.

What to Expect During Your Oral Exam

Your visit is designed to be comfortable and efficient. Here’s how it typically goes:

• • 1. Medical & Dental History Review

    We begin by reviewing any health conditions, medications, and past dental work. Your medical background helps us provide safe, personalized car

  • 2. Digital X-rays (if needed)

    These are taken to evaluate tooth roots, jawbone, and areas not visible in the mouth. We use low-radiation imaging for your safety.

  • 3. Full Mouth Exam

    Our dentist will examine each tooth, check your gums, and screen for oral cancer and jaw problems. This is also a great time to ask questions or share any concerns.

  • 4. Preventive Recommendations

    Depending on your risk factors, we may recommend additional preventive care like fluoride treatments, sealants, or night guards.

If everything looks healthy, we’ll celebrate a job well done—and schedule your next cleaning and exam.

Dental Cleanings in NYC | Professional Preventive Care

A clean smile is a healthy smile, and it all starts with professional dental cleanings. At 65 Broadway Dental in NYC, we make it simple, comfortable, and effective for patients of all ages to stay on top of their oral health. Whether you’re a busy adult maintaining your smile or a parent setting up your child for a lifetime of good habits, our team delivers cleanings that go beyond the basics.

Our office, located in the heart of Manhattan’s Financial District, offers a warm and welcoming space where both children and adults can receive gentle, comprehensive cleanings. Backed by education, prevention, and modern technology, we help you keep your teeth and gums healthy year after year.

Why Choose Dental Cleanings at 65 Broadway Dental?

We don’t just clean your teeth—we provide a foundation for lifelong oral health. Here’s what makes our cleanings different:

• Professional Plaque Tartar Removal

  Even with perfect brushing and flossing, plaque can build up in hard-to-reach places. Our hygienists use gentle yet thorough techniques to remove plaque and hardened tartar that cause cavities, gum disease, and bad breath.

• Promotes Lifelong Oral Health

  Routine cleanings aren’t just about today’s smile—they help prevent long-term issues like gum recession, enamel wear, and bone loss. Cleanings also give us a chance to spot small problems before they become costly or painful.

• Fun Comfortable Experience

  We understand that not everyone looks forward to dental appointments, so we create an environment that’s calm, kind, and easy-going. For younger patients, we keep things lighthearted and fun to build positive dental experiences from the start.

• Key Part of Preventive Care

  Dental cleanings are an essential part of our broader preventive care approach. When paired with oral exams, fluoride treatments, and education, they help protect your smile between visits.

Who Needs Dental Cleanings?

Everyone, regardless of age or dental history, benefits from regular cleanings. We recommend cleanings every 6 months for most people, but more frequent visits may be needed if you:

• Have a history of gum disease
• Wear braces or retainers
• Smoke or use tobacco
• Have a dry mouth or take certain medications
• Are you pregnant or immunocompromised?
• Have crowns, implants, or bridges

Benefits of Routine Dental Cleanings

Professional cleanings provide far more than just a shiny smile. Some of the long-term benefits include:

• Preventing tooth decay and cavities
• Reducing the risk of gum disease and tooth loss
• Detecting early signs of oral health issues
• Eliminating bad breath caused by bacteria
• Avoiding costly dental procedures in the future
• Reinforcing good habits with education and support

Our goal is to protect your health, not just your teeth. That’s why we take a proactive, whole-person approach to every cleaning.

Gentle Cleanings for Children

For our younger patients, dental cleanings are the foundation of lifelong oral hygiene. We use age-appropriate tools, calm communication, and a friendly approach to help children feel relaxed and proud of their smiles.

Our pediatric-friendly cleanings include:

• Kid-sized tools and techniques
• Children and teens with growing smiles
• Gentle education on brushing and flossing
• Monitoring for early signs of decay
• Optional fluoride or sealants for extra protection

We work closely with both kids and parents to build healthy habits at every age.

What Happens During a Professional Dental Cleaning?

Every cleaning is tailored to your age, dental history, and current oral health. Here’s what a typical visit includes:

• • 1. Plaque & Tartar Removal

    We use gentle tools to remove sticky plaque and hard tartar (calculus) from your teeth, especially around the gumline and between teeth where toothbrushes often miss.

  • 2. Deep Gum Cleaning

    We check your gum health and clean just below the gumline to prevent or reverse early signs of gingivitis. If we notice signs of gum inflammation, we may recommend more frequent cleanings.

  • 3. Polishing & Stain Removal

    Your teeth are polished with a special paste to remove surface stains from coffee, tea, wine, or everyday eating. This leaves your smile feeling smooth and looking fresh.

  • 4. Flossing & Fluoride (if needed)

    We finish with professional flossing and apply fluoride treatment when appropriate, especially for kids or patients at higher risk for decay.

Dental Sealants in NYC | Cavity Prevention at 65 Broadway Dental

When it comes to preventing cavities, especially in hard-to-clean areas of the mouth, dental sealants are one of the most effective and affordable tools available. At 65 Broadway Dental in NYC, we offer quick, painless sealant treatments to protect teeth from decay, especially for kids, teens, and patients with deep grooves in their molars.

Sealants work like invisible shields, covering the chewing surfaces of back teeth and creating a smooth barrier that blocks food particles and bacteria from settling in. Whether your child has just had their first set of adult molars or you’re looking to reduce your own risk of cavities, sealants provide long-term protection without altering your natural tooth structure.

Why Choose Dental Sealants at 65 Broadway Dental?

We believe prevention is the best form of dental care, and sealants are a simple, proactive way to maintain a healthy smile. Here’s why so many NYC families choose our team for sealants:

• Shields Against Cavities

  Back teeth (molars and premolars) are full of deep pits and grooves where food and plaque love to hide. Sealants smooth out these areas, preventing cavities from forming in places that are hard to brush effectively.

• Ideal for Kids Teens

  Newly erupted molars are especially vulnerable to decay. That’s why sealants are typically recommended for children between the ages of 6 and 14—right when those permanent molars come in. Sealants can also benefit adults who are cavity-prone or have existing deep grooves.

• Quick Painless Application

  Applying sealants takes just a few minutes per tooth. There’s no drilling, needles, or discomfort, just a simple cleaning, drying, and application process that’s safe and non-invasive.

• Long-Lasting Protection

  With proper care, sealants can last up to 5–10 years. They’re durable enough to withstand normal chewing and offer a reliable shield against decay during the most cavity-prone years.

What Are Sealants Made Of?

Sealants are made from a thin plastic resin material that bonds directly to the grooves of the tooth. Once applied, the material hardens to form a protective coating. Modern dental sealants are safe, BPA-free, and virtually invisible, blending in naturally with the tooth surface.

Who Should Get Dental Sealants?

Sealants are ideal for both children and adults who want added protection against decay in their back teeth. You may be a good candidate for sealants if:

• You’re a child or teen with newly erupted molars
• You’ve had cavities in the past or are considered high-risk
• Your molars have deep grooves or pits
• You wear braces, or find it difficult to clean certain teeth
• You want to avoid fillings, crowns, or other future dental work

Our dental team will evaluate your or your child’s oral health and make a personalized recommendation during your routine exam.

How Dental Sealants Are Applied

The entire sealant process is simple, fast, and requires no numbing. Here’s what to expect during your visit:

• • 1. Cleaning the Teeth

    We start by thoroughly cleaning the surfaces of the molars to remove any plaque or debris.

  • 2. Preparing the Tooth Surface

    A special gel is applied to slightly roughen the enamel. This helps the sealant bond tightly to the tooth.

  • 3. Rinsing and Drying

    After a few seconds, the gel is rinsed off, and the tooth is dried completely.

  • 4. Sealant Application

    The sealant material is painted onto the chewing surface and hardened with a curing light in just a few seconds.

Once cured, the tooth is protected immediately—no downtime, no restrictions.

How Long Do Sealants Last?

Sealants can protect teeth for up to a decade, though we’ll monitor them during your regular checkups and cleanings. If we notice wear or chipping, we can reapply or touch them up easily during the same visit.

3D Dental Scans in NYC | Advanced Digital Imaging

At 65 Broadway Dental in NYC, we believe that precision and comfort should go hand in hand, especially when it comes to diagnosing and planning your dental care. That’s why we use advanced 3D dental scanning technology to capture high-resolution digital images of your teeth, gums, and jaw. This modern alternative to traditional X-rays gives us a clearer, more detailed look at your oral health, without radiation, discomfort, or messy impressions.

Using safe, non-invasive optical and laser technology, our 3D scans make it easy to plan complex procedures, monitor dental health, and ensure the most accurate fit for crowns, implants, aligners, and other restorations. Whether you’re visiting for a routine checkup or a cosmetic dentistry consultation, our 3D imaging technology ensures that nothing gets missed.

Why Choose 3D Scanning at 65 Broadway Dental?

3D scans are quickly becoming a gold standard in modern dentistry—and for good reason. At 65 Broadway Dental, we use this technology to offer you faster appointments, better diagnostics, and more customized treatments. Here’s what makes our approach different:

• Accurate Digital Imaging

  Our 3D scanner creates a highly detailed virtual model of your teeth and gums. This allows us to spot issues like cavities, bone loss, or alignment problems more clearly than with traditional X-rays.

• Safe Comfortable

  Our 3D scanning process uses non-invasive optical and laser technology, which means no radiation and no discomfort. It’s completely safe for children, adults, and even pregnant individuals.

• Fast Efficient

  The scanning process takes just a few minutes. You’ll be able to see a 3D image of your mouth in real time, making consultations and treatment planning faster and easier than ever before.

• Ideal for Modern Dentistry

  From crowns and bridges to implants, Invisalign, and cosmetic smile design, digital scans provide exact measurements that result in better-fitting restorations and more predictable results.

What Is a 3D Dental Scan?

A 3D dental scan is a digital impression of your teeth and oral structures created using a small, handheld wand that moves around your mouth. Unlike traditional impressions that require biting into gooey material, this method is:

• Non-contact (nothing touches your teeth or gums)
• Radiation-free
• Accurate down to microns
• Instantly viewable on-screen

The scan is saved as a digital file that we can use for diagnostics, treatment planning, or to design restorations like crowns, veneers, dentures, or orthodontic aligners.

Who Can Benefit from a 3D Dental Scan?

3D scanning is a powerful tool for anyone seeking comfortable, efficient dental care, especially if you are:

• Considering dental implants
• Starting orthodontic treatment (like Invisalign)
• Planning for crowns, bridges, or veneers
• Undergoing smile design or cosmetic makeovers
• Experiencing unexplained tooth or jaw pain
• Looking to replace messy traditional impressions

These scans allow us to customize every aspect of your care with a level of precision that simply isn’t possible with older methods.

How the 3D Scanning Process Works

Our 3D scanning process is quick, easy, and completely stress-free. Here’s what you can expect:

• 1. Comfortable Digital Scan

  You’ll sit back in the chair as our dental team gently moves a small scanning wand across your teeth and gums. This device captures thousands of images per second and creates a full-color, 3D model of your mouth in real-time.

• 2. On-Screen Visualization

  The scan is immediately visible on our monitor, so we can zoom in and examine your bite, jaw alignment, and gum health from every angle. We’ll walk you through what we see and explain any potential issues or treatment options.

• 3. Personalized Treatment Plan

  Depending on your needs, we’ll use the scan to design custom restorations or aligners, track gum health, plan implant placement, or monitor your overall oral health. No need for multiple appointments—everything can be planned right away.

Digital Dental X-Rays in NYC | Safe, Accurate Imaging

Understanding what’s happening beneath the surface of your teeth and gums is essential to maintaining long-term oral health. At 65 Broadway Dental in NYC, our advanced digital dental X-rays provide clear, detailed images that help us diagnose hidden issues early, before they become serious problems.

Whether you’re coming in for a routine exam, cosmetic consultation, or restorative dental work, our digital X-ray technology allows us to assess your teeth, jawbone, and existing dental restorations quickly and comfortably. This diagnostic tool plays a key role in your preventive dental care by guiding treatment decisions and helping us detect conditions like cavities, infections, bone loss, and even oral cancers.

Why Choose Digital X-Rays at 65 Broadway Dental?

Digital X-rays are one of the most powerful tools in modern dentistry, and our office uses the latest equipment to ensure safe, precise, and efficient care. Here’s what makes our imaging process different:

• Detailed Internal View

  X-rays reveal what the eye can’t see: decay between teeth, impacted wisdom teeth, cysts, infections, and even bone loss. These insights are critical to building a complete picture of your oral health.

• Evaluates Dental Restorations

  We don’t just look at natural teeth; X-rays also allow us to examine existing dental work like fillings, crowns, implants, and bridges to ensure they’re stable, properly sealed, and free of decay underneath.

• Supports Preventive Care

  Routine imaging allows us to detect problems before they cause pain or damage. Early diagnosis leads to less invasive treatments and lower long-term dental costs.

• Quick, Safe & Digital

  Our digital X-ray system offers 90% less radiation than traditional film. It’s fast, safe, and provides instant images that we can view and explain to you in real-time.

What Are Dental X-Rays & Why Are They Important?

Dental X-rays are diagnostic images that show the internal structures of your teeth, jaw, and gums. They are essential for:

• Detecting early tooth decay between teeth
• Evaluating the fit and integrity of crowns, bridges, and fillings
• Monitoring bone levels around teeth and implants
• Identifying cysts, tumors, or abscesses
• Planning extractions, root canals, or implants

At 65 Broadway Dental, we use digital radiography, which is more comfortable and accurate than traditional film X-rays. With this technology, there’s no waiting for image development—we see everything instantly on a screen.

When Are Dental X-Rays Needed?

X-rays aren’t taken at every appointment, but they are essential for:

• New patient exams to assess baseline oral health
• Annual checkups to monitor changes or catch early decay
• Before procedures like root canals, implants, or extractions
• Ongoing monitoring of chronic conditions like gum disease or bone loss
• Orthodontic assessments for Invisalign or braces

We’ll always assess your individual needs and only recommend X-rays when they’re clinically necessary.

Types of Dental X-Rays We Use

At 65 Broadway Dental, we use several types of X-rays based on what we need to evaluate:

• Bitewing X-Rays

  These show the crowns of your upper and lower teeth and are ideal for detecting decay between teeth and checking the fit of existing fillings.

• Periapical X-Rays

  These focus on the entire tooth—from the crown to the root—and are useful for identifying abscesses, cysts, or root problems.

• Panoramic X-Rays

  This provides a full view of the mouth, including the jawbones, sinuses, and wisdom teeth, and is often used for treatment planning or oral surgery.

• 3D CBCT Imaging (when needed)

  For more complex procedures, such as implant placement, we may use 3D cone-beam imaging to capture even more detailed data.

What to Expect During Your X-Ray Appointment

• 1. Comfortable Positioning

  You’ll be seated in a comfortable chair while our trained staff gently positions the digital sensor and X-ray head.

• 2. Quick Image Capture

  Each X-ray takes only a few seconds. There’s no discomfort or strange taste, and no need for uncomfortable film holders.

• 3. Real-Time Viewing

  The images appear instantly on our screen. Your dentist will review the results with you, pointing out areas of concern and explaining your treatment options.

• 4. Personalized Care Plan

  If anything requires attention—such as a cavity under a crown or signs of gum recession—we’ll create a tailored care plan on the spot.
