Digital X-Rays

Advanced Diagnostics

Digital X-rays are an advanced imaging technology. In the past, dentists used film X-rays to capture images of your teeth. These images took much longer to capture and required the use of toxic chemicals to develop the images. Digital radiography uses a digital sensor to quickly capture images of your teeth, instantly transferring them to monitors in the treatment room to provide our dentist with highly detailed images so that we can give you an efficient and accurate diagnosis and treatment. Digital X-rays also produce up to 90% less radiation than film radiography does, making them very safe for use.

Why Digital X-Rays?

You may be old enough to remember how uncomfortable dental X-rays used to be. At our office, we have said goodbye to traditional X-ray techniques! Our dentist and team use digital X-rays to examine your teeth and supporting structures, diagnose problems and plan your treatments. We have chosen to use digital X-rays to make your experience with us as safe as possible and protect your personal information and the environment.

• Decay between the teeth
