Digital Imaging
Our doctors choose carefully which radiographs are taken. There are many guidelines that we follow. Radiographs allow us to see everything we cannot see with our own eyes. They enable us to detect cavities in between your teeth, determine bone level, and health of bone. We can also examine the roots and nerves of teeth, diagnose lesions such as cysts or tumors, as well as assess damage when trauma occurs.
With digital imaging, exposure time is significantly less than traditional radiographs.
Dental radiographs are invaluable aids in diagnosing, treating, and maintaining dental health. Our doctors utilize Digital Imaging Technologies within the office. Exposure time for dental radiographs is extremely minimal.
Digital X-rays offer more precision since we view the image on a computer monitor, instead of holding up a film to the light. They also have minimal radiation exposure to the patient since they are digital rather than film.
The advantages of digital imaging enable us to not only store patient images, but also enable us to quickly transfer them to appropriate specialists or insurance companies. This makes it very convenient and efficient for the patient!
