Digital X-ray

Digital X-ray

The digital radiograph not only emits half the amount of radiation associated with traditional x-rays, but is also much less time consuming. Using a sensor that is placed in your mouth in the correct position, the pictures are taken and immediately sent to our computer. We can then review the information with you right from the computer screen.

Benefits of Digital X-Rays

• Immediately transfers images to monitor so that the dentist can review and explain the information to the patient
• Images can be enlarged and saved for future reference
• Offers the ability to compare your x-rays with one another digitally on our computer
• Less time spent developing x-rays means more time to take care of your dental needs
