Digital X-ray
Conventional X-rays show little detail and transmit higher amounts of radiation. Digital X-rays give us the ability to see more and greatly reduce the radiation you're exposed to.
This new method of x-raying your teeth drastically reduces radiation by 80-90%. After the x-rays are taken, they are presented almost immediately on a computer screen in front of you. You no longer have to wait until the film is developed to see what is going on in and around your mouth. This reduces the time you spend in the exam chair.
The images are much clearer and easier to interpret, especially from a patient's standpoint, than the previous way of x-raying your teeth. Looking at the x-rays on the screen gives you detailed information about your oral health.
