Digital X-rays

We are now able to offer our patients a new type of x-ray, the digital radiograph, which offers benefits beyond the traditional x-ray.

The digital radiograph 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, and are stored in your file for future reference. Images are ready in seconds and, because there's no film, there's no harmful chemical waste!

We know that many of our patients are concerned about the amount of radiation to which they are exposed. Because digital radiographs require 90% less radiation than traditional x-rays, you can relax...the radiation is so low, you no longer have to wear a lead apron, and we don't have to leave the room!

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