Digital X-Rays Innovation

Digital x-rays are quickly becoming adopted by a large percentage of the dental industry. A digital x-ray allows the dentist to take an image of the tooth or teeth and put it into an imaging program. Within this imaging program, there are a number of tools that will allow the dentist to take a very close look at the teeth and surrounding structures with amazing accuracy. As a benefit to the patient, the digital x-ray also provides nearly 80% less radiation than a standard x-ray. This is due to the fact that the digital version of the x-ray is much more sensitive to this radiation and has been specifically designed with the patient in mind.

Experience Improved Precision, Safety, and Care

The field of radiology has been revolutionized by digital sensors, which capture highly detailed x-ray images while reducing exposure compared to traditional film x-rays. This technological advancement ensures patient safety and improves treatment outcomes. Digital sensors enable healthcare professionals to obtain clearer and more precise images, leading to accurate diagnoses and effective treatment plans. Additionally, the digital format allows for easy storage, retrieval, and sharing of x-ray images, promoting collaboration among medical professionals and enhancing patient care. The integration of digital sensors in x-ray technology has transformed radiology, bringing efficiency, accuracy, and patient-centered care to the forefront.

The Mechanics of a Digital Dental X-Ray

With the use of a compact radiographic camera, slightly larger than a pen, capturing images of each tooth is now effortless, eliminating the need for traditional film used in regular X-rays. This advanced technology eliminates the requirement for chemical development or processing of the images. Instead, the images appear instantly on a computer screen as soon as each scan is completed, enabling both providers and patients to view them within minutes! By making minor adjustments to the angle of the imaging wand, the provider can capture every intricate detail of each tooth, providing immediate results and eliminating any waiting time for you.
