Enhancing Diagnosis with Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays are becoming increasingly popular in dentistry due to their many advantages. These X-rays allow dentists to capture high-resolution images of your teeth, which can be easily uploaded into specialized imaging software. This software provides a range of tools that help dentists examine your teeth and surrounding structures with exceptional precision. Additionally, patients benefit from digital X-rays as they are exposed to up to 80% less radiation compared to traditional X-rays. This reduction in radiation is made possible by the advanced sensitivity of digital X-rays, prioritizing patient safety.
How A Digital Dental X-Ray Works
Using a small, pen-sized radiographic camera, we can easily capture high-quality images of each tooth, replacing the traditional film used in standard X-rays. This modern technology eliminates the need for chemical processing, allowing images to be displayed instantly on a computer screen as soon as each scan is completed. Both the provider and the patient can view the images within minutes. By adjusting the angle of the imaging wand, the provider can capture detailed views of each tooth, providing immediate results with no waiting time.
