What you need to know about this service
What happens at your appointment
Every visit at Dovers is clear, comfortable, and straightforward. Here is exactly what to expect.
No Preparation Needed
You sit comfortably in the dental chair. A protective lead apron is placed over your chest. The process takes a few minutes and is completely painless.
Sensor or Film Positioning
A small digital sensor is positioned inside the mouth at the target area. You may be asked to bite gently to hold it in place.
Image Capture
The X-ray unit captures the image in under one second. Modern digital sensors use up to 80% less radiation than traditional film — less than a single day of environmental exposure.
Immediate Review & Explanation
Images appear on screen within seconds. Your dentist reviews them with you during the same appointment, explains exactly what they show, and discusses any next steps clearly.
Why Lagos patients choose us for this treatment

We use digital X-ray sensors that deliver fast, high-resolution images with the lowest possible radiation dose — no compromise between safety and diagnostic quality.
Same-Appointment Results
No waiting for film development. Your dentist reviews and discusses images immediately, keeping everything within one visit.
Clinically Justified Use Only
We never take X-rays as a routine without cause. Every image is clinically indicated — we do not expose patients unnecessarily.
Images Explained in Plain Language
X-rays can be confusing. We always walk you through exactly what we are seeing on screen, so you understand your own oral health and can make informed decisions.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Modern digital dental X-rays use very low radiation — comparable to a fraction of a day of natural background radiation. We also use lead aprons. X-rays are only taken when clinically necessary.
For most patients, every 12 to 24 months is sufficient. If you have active issues — infection, impacted teeth, or are in the middle of treatment — your dentist may need more frequent imaging.
No. The process is completely painless. Some patients feel mild discomfort from the sensor or film inside the mouth, which is resolved in seconds.
We advise against non-emergency X-rays in the first trimester. In the second and third trimesters, X-rays can be taken with a lead apron when clinically necessary. Always tell your dentist if you are pregnant.
