Taking x-rays allows your dentist to see:
- Cavities, even when hidden under old restorations
- Bone loss around your teeth
- Abscesses that can cause pain and tooth loss
- The severity of damage after a fracture or accident
- Osteoporosis
- Hidden sources of pain or discomfort
- Teeth or malformations like cysts hiding below the surface
Even with all of these benefits, we know that some of you
are concerned about radiation exposure with traditional dental x-rays. This is one of the reasons that we started
using digital x-rays years ago.
Digital x-rays use electronic sensors instead of film. The images are uploaded onto a computer
immediately instead of having to be developed with a chemical process.
We believe they are the right choice for our patients
because:
- Digital x-rays use less radiation and are the safest option available.
- The high quality images are viewed on a computer screen, which allows us to zoom in or blow up the images to see even more detail.
- They are fast. By eliminating the film processing time you get answers more quickly and spend less time waiting in the dental chair.
- They are environmentally friendly. Traditional film requires chemicals for processing and creates a lot of waste. Digital x-rays are chemical and waste free.
We think you will agree that the benefits of digital dental
x-rays make them an obvious choice.
