Digital X-Rays
Get A Complete Picture Of Your Dental Health
The introduction of digital radiography in dentistry has revolutionized the field, offering advanced diagnostic capabilities to enhance oral healthcare. By capturing precise images of the jawbone, teeth, and surrounding structures, we gain a comprehensive understanding of a patient's oral health. These detailed scans help us identify dental restorations, potential issues, and accurately diagnose problems, enabling us to discuss treatment options with patients. Digital X-rays provide unmatched accuracy and precision, are environmentally friendly, reduce radiation exposure, and streamline the storage and sharing of patient records. This technology ensures that patients receive top-quality care for their oral health and overall well-being.
What You Perceive Is Exactly What You Receive
Taking digital X-rays is easy and significantly reduces radiation exposure by up to 85%. By inserting a small sensor in the mouth, we can instantly view top-notch images, allowing us to promptly identify any problems and provide recommendations for improved at-home oral hygiene and ongoing care. Additionally, digital files can be conveniently stored, shared with insurance providers or dental specialists, and compared over time to monitor changes in oral health.
Benefits Of Digital X-Rays
Digital radiography has many advantages over traditional dental X-rays. It is faster, with the X-ray image appearing on a computer monitor immediately after exposure. This eliminates the need for chemical development required with film packets. Additionally, digital X-rays are safer for the environment and patients as they do not use chemicals in the development process and reduce radiation exposure by up to 80%.
Furthermore, digital X-ray technology allows for more efficient diagnosis and treatment. The clear images provided by digital X-rays allow for easy visibility, adjustments, and detailed examination. These images can also be stored electronically and shared easily with specialists and insurance companies via email.
In conclusion, digital radiography offers speed, safety, enhanced viewing capabilities, and easy sharing of images, making it a superior option to traditional dental X-rays.
