We are dedicated to providing our patients with the highest standard of dental care, which is why we have incorporated digital X-rays into our practice. This advanced diagnostic tool represents a significant leap forward in dental imaging, offering enhanced safety, efficiency and accuracy.
Understanding Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays are a modern alternative to traditional radiographs, using digital sensors instead of traditional photographic X-ray film. This technology captures detailed images of your teeth, gums and other oral structures, which are instantly viewable on a computer screen. Digital X-rays are essential for diagnosing various dental conditions, from cavities and gum disease to root problems and oral infections.
The Digital X-Ray Process
When you come in for a digital X-ray, the process is quick and straightforward. Our dentists will place a small digital sensor in your mouth, which captures the image of your teeth and jaw. The process is fast and comfortable, and the images are available for review almost immediately. This immediacy allows us to discuss your dental health and treatment options without delay.
