Digital X-Rays
Why Do We Use X-Rays?
To see is to know – To not see is to guess.
We will not guess when it comes to your health.
As part of your regular visits to our office, Dr. Feriel El Ghaoui may take an X-ray of your mouth. At Tara Hills Dental, we are pleased to utilize digital X-rays in Pinole, California, to improve your treatment. This highly safe tool can be used to monitor and evaluate your oral health in detail. Dr. Feriel El Ghaoui can receive instant radiographic images that show decay or damage that may be difficult to see with the naked eye. This allows us to properly and accurately treat any problems early on and maintain your oral health. Please contact our office today at 510-724-7474 to learn more and to schedule your appointment.

Digital X-rays are one of the advanced diagnostic tools we use to provide you with the best possible care. Digital radiography has changed the way we take dental X-rays by making the process faster, more comfortable, and more convenient than ever before. Digital X-rays use a digital sensor to take images of your teeth, unlike traditional X-rays that use film. Digital X-rays use significantly less radiation than conventional film X-rays, and they require the use of no chemicals for developing the images. Our dentist can then instantly view the high-quality images on monitors right in the treatment room to provide you with efficient, accurate diagnoses and care. Our team is able to use digital radiography to identify and diagnose several types of dental problems, such as:
- Decay in between teeth
- Developmental abnormalities
- Improper tooth root positioning
- Cysts and abscesses
- Fractures in existing fillings
- Tumors
- Infection in the tooth nerves
- Bone loss

The AIRFLOW® Prophylaxis Master is a state-of-the-art dental device that we use at Tara Hills Dental to deliver Guided Biofilm Therapy with precision and comfort.

One of the key benefits of the AIRFLOW® Prophylaxis Master is its ability to clean thoroughly without the discomfort of traditional scraping. It uses a temperature-controlled stream of air and water, making the procedure more pleasant for patients—especially those with tooth sensitivity, orthodontic appliances, or dental implants. The system also includes built-in heat control and precise pressure settings, ensuring a customized cleaning experience tailored to your comfort and oral health needs.
Patients should know that the AIRFLOW® system is not only more comfortable but also more effective. It allows our hygienists to reach deep into periodontal pockets and hard-to-access areas, helping to prevent gum disease and maintain a healthier mouth over time. Whether you’re coming in for a routine cleaning or managing ongoing periodontal care, the AIRFLOW® Prophylaxis Master provides a safer, gentler, and more advanced way to keep your teeth and gums clean and healthy.
