Dental X-Rays in Pakenham, Victoria

A comprehensive oral examination is incomplete without x-rays. X-rays show the full picture and are necessary for the detection of decay and other problems with the teeth and/or gums which can easily go undetected by just an examination of the mouth.

At Pakenham Shine Dental, we’re proud to offer our patients dental digital x-rays using the latest technology. Digital dental imaging uses much less radiation than conventional x-rays, with results shown instantly. Make an appointment at Pakenham Shine Dental Clinic today for dental x-rays in Pakenham.
