What a pleasure to be one of the pioneers of Lakewood's Tiny Teeth Dentist. After a journey of many, we finally found what we were dreaming for. Thanks to Dr Zaki and the patient Hygienists and Staff, we are so well taken care of. They aren't looking to over-diagnose and leave the children overwhelmed with the incredible overload of work! 5 STARS!!

Digital X-Rays: A Safer Option for Dental Imaging

Digital X-rays have revolutionized the field of dentistry by providing a safer, faster, and more accurate method of imaging teeth and surrounding structures.

When exposed to X-rays, the sensor or plate converts the radiation into an electronic signal, which is then displayed on a computer screen.
