Digital Imaging
Our doctors choose carefully which and when radiographs are taken. There are many guidelines that we follow. Radiographs allow us to see things we cannot see with our own eyes such as cavities in between your teeth, bone levels, and health of bone. We can also examine the roots and nerves of teeth, diagnose lesions such as infections, cysts or tumors, as well as assess damage when trauma occurs.
Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays offer more precision since we view the image on a computer monitor, instead of holding up a 35mm film up to the light. Digital X-rays results in 1/6th the radiation exposure to you.
Dental radiographs are invaluable aids in diagnosing, treating, and maintaining dental health. Exposure time for dental radiographs is extremely minimal. Our office utilizes digital imaging technologies within the office. With digital imaging, exposure time is about 50 percent less when compared to traditional radiographs. Digital imaging can also help us retrieve valuable diagnostic information. We may be able to see cavities better.
The advantages of digital imaging enables us to not only store patient images, but also enables us to quickly transfer them to appropriate specialists or insurance companies.
