Digital X-Rays

Digital X-rays are one of the most common technologies used in dentistry. Our dentists and team use this technology to view your teeth beneath your gumline, checking on their health and monitoring for any dental abnormalities.

The computer age has introduced an exciting innovation known as digital radiography, or digital x-rays.

With this advanced technology, we employ computerized equipment and specialized software to capture x-ray images of your oral cavity and teeth. This process involves exposing a small sensor or plate, which then transmits the image directly into a computer for analysis.

Benefits of Digital X-Rays

Digital radiography offers numerous benefits compared to conventional dental x-rays:

  • It is quicker.
  • It is safer, as it eliminates the need for chemical processing and reduces radiation exposure.
  • We can instantly access and view images.
  • We can enhance images for better visibility.
  • Images can be electronically stored and sent to specialists and insurance companies via email.

Taking x-rays is expedited as the sensor is simply moved from one tooth to the next, and the x-ray results can be instantly displayed on a computer monitor right after exposure. There’s no need to wait for chemical development, as is the case with traditional film-based x-rays.

Moreover, the absence of chemicals in digital x-rays renders them more environmentally friendly. They are also safer for you, as the equipment is highly sensitive, resulting in up to an 80% reduction in x-ray radiation compared to conventional methods.

The efficiency of diagnosis and treatment is greatly enhanced through digital x-ray technology. It provides a large, easily discernible image, enabling us to make adjustments and examine intricate details within the x-ray images. These digital x-rays can then be seamlessly integrated into your dental records and readily shared with specialists and insurance companies through email.
