Digital X-rays

X-rays provide the basis for the complete and accurate diagnosis of almost every dental condition. But in recent years, you may have heard concern expressed about exposure to dental x-rays. Now, digital x-ray technology is helping our doctors address the concerns of our patients.

Digital radiography produces sharp, clear images right on the doctor's computer screen as you watch. And digital x-rays require just a fraction of the radiation of traditional film x-rays.

The doctor positions a small sensor in your mouth to obtain the dental images. The corners of the sensor are rounded for more comfort and easier placement than the holders used for taking traditional x-rays. And because they provide greater comfort and patients are able to be more relaxed, the results can often be more accurate.

Your results are almost immediate, allowing the doctor to quickly and accurately diagnose dental problems while remaining right at chairside. You'll be able to view the images on a chairside screen and the doctor can use them to help you understand your treatment options immediately.

All of your images are stored in your patient chart on our computer allowing easy retrieval if they should need to be forwarded to a specialist or to your insurance provider.

With digital radiography, we are able to produce the finest and safest dental x-rays ever available.
