We now offer Advanced Digital X-Rays
The dental industry is rapidly adopting digital x-rays because of their numerous benefits. Dentists can now capture images of teeth and effortlessly transfer them to an imaging program using digital x-rays. This program offers a variety of tools that enable dentists to thoroughly analyze teeth and surrounding structures with remarkable precision. Additionally, patients greatly benefit from digital x-rays as they are exposed to nearly 80% less radiation than traditional x-rays. This reduced radiation exposure is achievable due to the heightened sensitivity of digital x-rays to radiation and their commitment to ensuring patient safety.
The functioning of a digital dental X-ray explained
With the help of a compact radiographic camera, slightly larger than a pen, we can easily capture images of each tooth, eliminating the need for traditional film used in regular X-rays. This advanced technology eliminates the need for chemical development or processing of the images. Instead, the images appear instantly on a computer screen as soon as each scan is completed, allowing both providers and patients to view them within minutes! By making small adjustments to the angle of the imaging wand, the provider can capture every detail of each tooth, providing immediate results and saving you from any waiting time.
