Digital X-rays

Dental X-Ray

Digital X-rays work by capturing images of the inside of your mouth using a sensor that replaces traditional film. The digital sensor sends the image directly to a computer, which is processed and displayed on a monitor for easy analysis. These X-rays can be used to detect various dental problems, such as cavities, gum disease, tooth infections, bone loss, and abnormalities that may not be visible during a routine exam.

Why Choose Digital X-Rays?

  • Enhanced Image Quality: Provides high-resolution images that are clearer and more detailed than traditional X-rays.
  • Faster Results: Images are immediately available, allowing for quicker diagnosis and treatment planning.
 
  • Lower Radiation Exposure: Digital X-rays emit up to 90% less radiation compared to traditional film X-rays, making them safer for patients.
  • Environmentally Friendly: Unlike traditional X-rays, digital X-rays do not require the use of toxic chemicals or film development.
  • Convenient and Efficient: The ability to store, retrieve, and share images digitally makes it easier for patients and dental professionals to track treatment progress.

When Are Digital X-Rays Used?

  • Routine Checkups: To identify hidden dental issues like cavities, bone loss, and decay between teeth.
  • Orthodontic Treatment: To assess tooth alignment and structure.
  • Root Canal Diagnosis: To evaluate the health of the tooth pulp and surrounding bone.
  • Gum Disease: To assess the extent of bone loss caused by gum disease.
  • Implant Planning: For accurate placement of dental implants by evaluating the jawbone.
