X-rays are an essential part of a dental visit. They help us diagnose any problems that we are unable to see with the naked eye.
We choose to perform digital x-rays as they are a more safe, comfortable, and efficient option in comparison to traditional x-rays.
Digital x-rays emit significantly less radiation than their traditional counterparts. Also, the small sensor placed inside a patient’s mouth with a digital x-ray is much smaller than traditional film. This makes patients a lot more comfortable during the process.
What is great about digital x-rays is that they only take a few seconds to do. The only exception is if we need to perform a full mouth series of x-rays, which can take anywhere from 10-15 minutes. Digital x-rays also display immediately after they are taken, rather than needing to process traditional film. This means a quicker and more precise diagnosis.
