X-rays
are an important tool for your dental health because they show a
true picture of your teeth. They allow the dentist to see "hidden"
damage that cannot be seen with the human eye.
Digital
x-ray systems use state-of-the-art computerized images to instantly
identify any dental issues, such as gum problems and tooth decay,
while exposing patients to 90% less radiation than traditional
X-rays.
 Digital x-rays have many advantages over standard x-rays:
-
Less Radiation - The biggest advantage is that it
uses up to 90% LESS radiation than traditional x-rays, so you
get less exposure to radiation.
-
Environmentally Friendly - Because we don’t have to
develop photographic images there are no toxic chemicals to
dispose of.
-
Film Files Stored on Computer - Each x-ray is
captured directly onto a computer file in your patient folder
creating a digital history of x-rays for you that is backed-up
for safety and will not get damaged or lost.
-
Quicker Process - The x-ray is available instantly
instead of after 10 minutes of development time with traditional
x-rays.
-
Greater X-Ray Detail - The x-ray is much larger than
the traditional x-ray and is, therefore, easier to diagnose.
-
Easier Communications - We can save time by
electronically sending x-rays to your insurance company and to
specialists.
-
Same Cost - Digital x-rays are covered by all
insurance just like traditional x-rays.
