Do I need X-rays?

To provide optimal care, we take digital X-rays once a year and a panoramic X-ray every three years. Because we use a digital system, our patients are exposed to about 80-percent less radiation than with a traditional radiograph. X-rays and intraoral photographs help us track your oral health and address problems early, when conservative dentistry can correct most issues. If you haven't had a checkup and X-rays in a while, call our Edina dental office for an appointment.

We are located on the top floor in Suite 600 at the Centennial Lakes Medical Center on France Ave S. and Parklawn.
