Digital X-rays are a crucial diagnostic tool in modern dentistry, offering enhanced imaging with improved efficiency and safety. Compared to traditional film X-rays, digital radiography provides a faster, more comfortable experience for patients while reducing exposure to radiation. If you have ever undergone dental X-rays in the past, you will appreciate the convenience and precision that digital imaging brings to your dental care.
Unlike traditional X-rays, which produce two-dimensional images, CBCT technology rotates around your head, capturing multiple images that are then compiled into a single 3D model. This advanced imaging system provides a more comprehensive look at your oral structures, including bones, nerves, sinuses and soft tissues. The detailed visualization helps our dentists diagnose and treat a wide range of dental conditions more effectively.
One of the primary advantages of digital X-rays is their reduced radiation exposure. They produce up to 90 percent less radiation than traditional X-rays, making them a safer option for patients of all ages. In addition, digital X-rays eliminate the need for film and hazardous chemicals, making them an environmentally friendly alternative. Digital radiography also improves efficiency in dental diagnosis and treatment planning. Our dentists can enhance, zoom or adjust the images for a more precise evaluation, allowing for better detection of cavities, infections and structural abnormalities. The ability to store and share digital images electronically streamlines communication between specialists, making it easier to coordinate complex dental procedures.
Digital X-rays play a vital role in diagnosing and monitoring various dental conditions, including:
These images are essential for planning a wide range of treatments, from root canal therapy and orthodontics to dental implant placement and oral surgery.
If you need a routine dental exam or are experiencing dental discomfort, digital X-rays can provide a clear and accurate assessment of your oral health. Contact our office today to schedule an appointment and learn how advanced imaging can enhance your dental care.
My experience was very warm and welcoming no complaints, the dentist explained everything to my satisfaction. I'm certainly pleased with my new dental home.
Amazing experience!! I came for a cleaning and had an extraction. They put my bridge in today and I am truly amazed by the results! The staff is so kind and thorough.
I would follow this dentist across the country if need be. I followed her to every county she’s been in and continue to not be disappointed. She is amazing
