Digital X-Rays

The computer era has brought us an exciting new technology called digital radiography.

With this technology, we use computerized equipment and software to capture x-ray images of your mouth and teeth. We do this by exposing a small sensor or plate that feed the image into a computer.

Digital X-rays are images that are captured digitally and loaded into the patient's computer file. There is no chemical processing as with conventional x-rays.

The advantage to you is that it only exposes you to 10% of the radiation of traditional dental x-rays. These x-rays can also be blown up to the full size of a computer screen, allowing the Doctor better viewing for analysis and diagnosis.

The advantages of digital radiography
Digital radiography has many advantages over traditional dental x-rays:

• It's faster.
• It's safer, with no chemical development and less radiation.
• We can view images instantly,
• We can enhance images to improve viewing.
