Digital X-rays

Greater comfort. Reduced exposure

Digital X-rays – as much as 90% less radiation than standard X-rays

Digital radiographs capture dental images through a sensor that processes the image onto a computer screen. Digital X-rays can provide greater comfort than traditional X-rays and reduce exposure to radiation by as much as 90%. Approximately four digital x-rays are equal to one “paper” X-ray.

• You can relax knowing that your radiation exposure is reduced by up to 90%
• You don’t have to wear a lead apron
• We’re with you at all times – we never have to leave the room
• Digital x-rays are faster, safer, less expensive and better for the environment
• Digital x-rays can detect problems long before they’re visible to the naked eye

How digital x-rays work

We place a sensor that is about the size and shape of a domino on the inside of your cheek. It sends signals to a computer, which are translated into large, crisp, electronic pictures of your teeth, supporting bones and gums. The pictures can be enlarged and colored for clarification. They are stored in your file for future reference.

The digital radiograph makes it easier and less expensive to detect, diagnose and plan treatment long before potential issues become real problems. We’ll recommend digital radiographs periodically, as you need them. It’s the best and safest way to guard your smile against unexpected problems!
