Digital X-Ray

Digital x-rays are quickly becoming the standard in dental imaging. This form of computerized radiography uses a standard dental x-ray generator as its radiation source. An intra-oral sensor that is placed in the mouth collects the image. The color capabilities show our patients more meaningful pictures that the standard format. The "zoom" capabilities allow our patients to view localized areas for better understanding of their diagnosis. Digital x-rays allow the doctor to get a much better view of your teeth and potential dental conditions and also allows the doctor to see a number of different views of the tooth to gain a better understanding of the proper course of management. Digital x-rays provide a great benefit to the patient. Not only are they an excellent diagnostic tool, but they decrease radiation to the patient by over 80 - 90%.
