To
improve your care we've invested in a new way of looking into your
mouth—a procedure that's fast, and incredibly precise – digital
x-rays. What's even more amazing is that we get an image immediately
that is large, clear, and accurate, right next to your chair…ready for
discussion. Digital x-ray technology speeds and simplifies the
diagnostic part of your treatment, and most importantly allows us to
provide a much higher level of care.
Digital x-rays use 80-90% less
radiation than old-fashioned x-rays. Additional benefits include the
elimination of old fashioned dark room chemicals, which is better for
the environment. The highly detailed image of your teeth on our computer
screen, can be rotated, magnified, adjusted for contrast, and even
color-coded for educational purposes. Further, we can store it on our
computer files, thus saving paper. For insurance purposes, referrals or
patient education, it can be accurately reproduced any number of times.
In summary, digital x-rays are faster, cleaner, and allow us to provide
better quality care.
