Digital radiography improves and simplifies the way we care for our patients' teeth, resulting in better dental diagnosis and treatment planning. Using digital radiography, we can clearly identify and accurately diagnose your dental problems.
Digital radiography (known as digital X-ray) uses an electronic sensor instead of traditional X-ray film to capture X-ray images. The digital images are then easily stored directly to a computer.
Low dose digital X-rays have a number of advantages:
Digital X-rays reduce patient radiation exposure by up to 90 percent compared to the already low exposure of traditional dental X-rays.
Your dentist can instantly view and enlarge the images, allowing us to detect problems.
Digital X-rays do not require film processing, thereby eliminating the need to dispose of harmful waste products and chemicals into the environment.
