  Digital X-Ray With the advances in computer aided dentistry, we now provide our patients the latest diagnostic imaging, also known as Digital Radiography (x-rays). Where it used to take 4-6 minutes to process a regular dental x-ray, it now takes less than 20 seconds to produce the image. Since digital x-rays are processed by the computer, they are environmentally friendly no chemicals or waste. Digital x-rays allow the doctor to get a much better view of your teeth and potential dental conditions. The digital imaging software allows the doctor to see a number of different views of the tooth to gain a better understanding of the proper course of management. The Dentist and patient can watch the images come up on the computer screen seconds after the sensor is inserted into their mouth. This allows for better education and understanding for our patients, resulting in greater confidence in treatment. Digital x-rays have the ability to be computer enhanced and magnified. A concern to many of our patients is the amount of radiation they are exposed to when getting their x-rays. By using digital radiography, the patient exposure is reduced up to 90%. Thus, providing better protection to our patients and staff. |
