Digital X-Rays
Digital radiography in dentistry has been around for more than a decade, and it has improved significantly during that time. Digital X-Rays offer immediate observation of radiographic images. Immediacy of viewing the image is a significant clinical advantage in accomplishing many oral procedures. It is especially important in endodontic therapy, implant surgery, evaluation of crown fit, placement of posts in endodontically treated teeth, evaluation of potential overhangs or open margins in newly placed restorations, detection of radiopaque foreign objects in soft tissue, patient education and innumerable other situations.
Significantly Less Radiation
The reduction in radiation offered by digital radiography—usually 70 to 80 percent, and at times even more—allows multiple periapical images for the same radiation exposure involved in a single periapical image obtained via conventional radiography. This reduction in radiation is especially important in implant placement or difficult endodontic therapy, in which multiple images frequently are needed.
Clear Imaging , Clear Decisions, Better Care
Digital radiography provides a quick and easy evaluation of even the most complicated dental conditions. The instant, crisp computer image allows us to immediately go over our discoveries with our dental patients. We’re able to simply and precisely explain all of the steps of any procedure necessary to repair a dental condition. Most importantly, we’re able to work together with you, our patient, to determine the best treatment options for your specific case.
