Digital X-rays - A Safe and Effective Choice

Dental x-rays are an important part of taking care of your oral health.  They are the only way that your dentist can see what is going on inside your teeth, gums, and jaw.  This allows them to catch problems early, diagnose accurately, and plan treatment for the best possible outcome.  

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.

Dental Implants: We love being able to replace missing teeth and help people smile and chew naturally again.  Implants can also be used to support snap on dentures that will stay in place and be more comfortable than traditional ones.
