Digital Radiography

Patients Experience 80-90% Less Radiation

Patient's no longer need to be concerned about the radiation necessary to expose normal film used in most typical dental offices. With the introduction of digital computerized x-rays, film is replaced with more sensitive computerized sensors. This results in the need for less radiation to obtain diagnostic x-rays. It also provides the clinician with more rapid diagnostics and allows the clinical visit to be shortened dramatically. This time savings has proven to be quite important to most patients who would rather be anywhere else other than the dental office. 

Digital x-rays are not only more sensitive but also utilize more of the available information and provide the dentist with exceptional clinical value. Digital x-rays can be enhanced in numerous ways including colorization, reverse imaging, decay enhancements etc. X-rays can be printed or even emailed to other dental specialists or insurance companies.

We are pleased to announce that we have recently introduced a digital panoramic x-ray. This state of the art x-ray machine can take an image of you entire jaw in only 9 seconds and uses extremely low doses of radiation. The panoramic x-ray has been around for many years, only recently has the digital format become available. This tool now allows us to use fewer x-rays in total, diagnose conditions of the teeth and jaw more accurately and to have a better overview of your general dental health. Like its smaller cousin, the digital panoramic image can be manipulated to increase its diagnostic ability.

Please ask us about this amazing technology the next time you are in the office.
