A Clear View of Every Smile
Digital X-rays use a small electronic sensor to capture detailed images of the teeth, roots, and jawbone in seconds. The images appear instantly on a screen, using a fraction of the radiation of old film X-rays. This lets Dr. N spot cavities, infections, and developmental issues early, for both children and adults, often before they cause any pain.
Imaging Only When It Truly Helps
At Little Smiles, we never take X-rays just because we can. Dr. N reviews each patient's history, age, and risk of decay to decide exactly which images are needed and when. This keeps radiation exposure to an absolute minimum while still giving us the information needed to protect your family's health.
When an X-ray is the right call, the process takes only seconds. A small sensor captures the image, a protective lead apron keeps the patient safe, and the picture appears instantly on the screen. There is no waiting and no discomfort. For younger or anxious children, we explain each step in simple terms and keep the experience calm and quick.
Best of all, we review the images with you right there in the room. Dr. N points to exactly what he sees, explains what it means, and walks you through any recommended treatment in plain language. No jargon, no surprises, just a clear picture of your family's dental health.
Technology in Caring Hands
Great diagnostics are about more than great equipment. They depend on a dentist who knows when imaging is needed, how to read it accurately, and how to explain it in a way that helps families make confident decisions. At Little Smiles of Beverly Hills, that combination is exactly what you get.
Dr. Sepehr Nassiripour, DDS uses modern digital imaging for patients of every age, from a toddler's first set of films to a parent's full diagnostic workup before implants or cosmetic treatment. His careful, conservative approach means images are taken only when they genuinely add value.
Because the images are digital, they can be enlarged, enhanced, and compared over time. This helps Dr. N track changes, catch issues early, and show you exactly what he sees on the screen.
We are also recognized as one of the leading practices in Beverly Hills for children with special needs, so our team is unusually skilled at making imaging quick, gentle, and stress free for patients who need extra support.
From the protective lead apron to the low radiation sensors, every detail is chosen with your family's safety and comfort in mind.

Answers Patients Ask Us Most
Common questions about digital X-rays and diagnostics in Beverly Hills
Are digital dental X-rays safe?
Yes. Digital X-rays use up to 90 percent less radiation than traditional film X-rays, making them one of the safest imaging tools in dentistry. We also use a protective lead apron for every patient, so they are safe for both children and adults.
How often should we get dental X-rays?
It depends on age, risk of cavities, and overall dental health. Many patients need X-rays once a year, while those with a higher risk of decay may need them more often. Dr. N recommends a schedule tailored to each patient rather than a one size fits all rule.
Why are X-rays necessary if my teeth feel fine?
Many dental problems, including cavities between teeth, infections, and bone loss, are invisible to the eye until they become serious. X-rays let Dr. N catch these issues early, when they are easier, cheaper, and more comfortable to treat.
Are digital X-rays safe for my child?
Yes. The very low radiation dose makes digital X-rays safe for children, and we only take them when they are truly needed. Dr. N has years of experience making the process quick, gentle, and stress free for even our youngest patients.
How long does a digital X-ray take?
Just a few seconds per image. The picture appears on the screen instantly, so there is no waiting for film to develop. The entire process is fast, comfortable, and easy to understand.
