Digital X-Ray (RVG)

Instant, low-radiation digital X-rays for an accurate diagnosis — the image appears on screen within seconds.

What is Digital X-Ray (RVG)?

RVG (RadioVisioGraphy) is a digital dental X-ray system that uses an electronic sensor instead of traditional film. The image appears on a computer screen within seconds and can be enlarged and enhanced to reveal fine details.

Digital X-rays use much less radiation than conventional film X-rays and need no chemical processing. At Maa Dental Care, RVG X-rays help Dr. Prakhar Singh diagnose hidden decay, infections and bone problems accurately — and show you exactly what is happening with your tooth.

When Do You Need This Treatment?

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a dental X-ray safe?

Yes. Digital RVG X-rays use a very low dose of radiation — much less than conventional film X-rays — which makes them safe for routine dental diagnosis.

Can I have a dental X-ray during pregnancy?

X-rays are generally avoided during pregnancy unless they are essential. Always tell the doctor if you are or may be pregnant so the right precautions can be taken.

How long does it take?

The X-ray itself takes seconds and the image appears on screen almost immediately. The whole process takes about 10 minutes.

Why does the dentist need an X-ray?

Many problems — decay between teeth, infection at the root tip, bone loss or impacted teeth — cannot be seen with the eye. An X-ray allows an accurate diagnosis and precise treatment.
