Digital X-ray
is an exciting technology that is faster, safer, more comfortable
and more accurate than traditional X-rays.
To take a digital X-ray of your teeth, we insert a tiny camera into
your mouth. Next, an X-ray beam is sent through your teeth and into
the sensor, which records the image of your teeth. The sensor can
then be repositioned to photograph other sections of your teeth. The
X-rays are then instantly transmitted to a computer screen, where
the doctor will review them with you. You can see any problems for
yourself while reviewing your treatment options together. Digital
X-rays help you to be more informed about your own dental health.
The digital dental
X-ray system is more sensitive than dental X-ray film systems, so
your exposure to X-rays is cut by as much as 90 percent. With digital
X-rays, your fees don't include payment for photo chemicals,
film, processing or film storage. Your dental checkups take less time,
and it's fun to watch this system work. Most patients are amazed
and impressed!
