Digital X-Ray

Digital x-rays are quickly becoming the standard in dental imaging.

Digital x-rays allow the doctor to get a much better view of your teeth and potential dental conditions. The digital imaging software allows the doctor to see a number of different views of the tooth to gain a better understanding of the proper course of management. Digital x-rays provide a great benefit to the patient. Not only are they an excellent diagnostic tool, but they decrease radiation to the patient by over 80%.

Since the first dental x-ray came into offices across the nation, numerous articles and studies have reviewed the possibility of exposure to radiation via x-rays. We are so excited to provide the option of digital x-rays to our valued patients. While giving the doctors a better view of a patient's mouth, the patient is being exposed to less radiation. Studies have shown that one digital x-ray is less than or equal to about 100 "old-fashioned" x-rays.

Please don't hesitate to call our office or contact your medical provider if you should have any questions or serious concerns regarding radiation exposure from dental imaging.
