What Is Dental Digital Radiography?
Digital dental x-rays are a modern imaging technology used by our team at Eastern Shore Endodontics to gain clear and precise images of a patient's teeth and surrounding structures. Using digital radiography, Dr. Manasco can more easily identify issues that might not be visible to the naked eye, allowing for a more complete understanding of the health of your teeth, jaw, and gums. Digital x-rays can reveal a variety of conditions, including tooth decay, cavities, abscesses, cysts, bone atrophy, and cracks, allowing our providers to treat them promptly before they worsen. If you are suffering from severe dental damage or decay, or if your dentist has referred you for endodontic treatment, schedule a consultation and exam at Eastern Shore Endodontics in Daphne, AL to learn how dental digital radiography can enhance your treatment experience.
How Do You Perform Digital X-Rays?
Digital dental x-rays usually take about 5 – 10 minutes to complete. For most patients, we will take a series of x-rays to assess different parts of the mouth. For your x-ray, we'll direct you to gently bite down on a small sensor placed between your teeth. The x-ray machine will then capture the images, which are sent to our computer to be compiled and analyzed. When the process is complete, Dr. Manasco will sit with you to review the images and point out any issues he sees. From there, he'll discuss your treatment options and what you can expect.
What Are the Advantages of Digital Dental Radiography?
Dental health professionals have relied on x-rays for more than a century to help diagnose and treat patients more effectively. With dental digital radiography, we've brought this technology to a new level, giving our providers at Eastern Shore Endodontics a more comprehensive understanding of your oral health. Digital dental x-rays also elevate our patients' experience, providing benefits that include:
- Higher image quality for more precise procedure planning
- Fast results
- Reduced radiation exposure
- Better accuracy and efficiency when diagnosing oral health concerns

Very professional and the follow up call checking on me topped it. Not saying I want another root canal but I know where to come.
I Highly Recommend!! From Scheduling, Prep, Procedure, Post Treatment and Follow-up Call. I am Very Satisfied.10/10!!
Just wanted to give Eastern Shore Endodontics a big shoutout for taking care of me Wednesday! It was my 1st time being there and they took care of me like I’ve been going there for years!
Dr Manasco and his team were beyond outstanding. They worked in perfect union. I've never been to an endodontist before, but have been to the dentist countless times in my 70 years. I would not hesitate to return for any future work. Gentle, compassionate, informed me as he proceeded through the procedure. The next day, I literally couldn't feel that I had work done! Not even a little soreness! Bravo team Manasco!
My experience was excellent!!! The entire staff and doctor were pleasant and understanding. Dr. Manasco took the time to go over xrays and explain what he was doing before and after. He even took the time to place a follow-up call after the procedure to make sure I was doing fineI would highly recommend Eastern Sore Endodontics
