The benefits of digital x-rays

Going to a dentist these days is much more than just filling a cavity. Professional dentistry includes preventative, restorative, and cosmetic work.  When you visit your dentist today, the technology is more advanced than ever before.  One of the advancements in everyday dentistry is digital x-rays.  

 

Dentists use digital x-rays to effectively detect, diagnose, and treat oral conditions. Digital x-rays are x-ray images using digital sensors instead of x-ray film, resulting in enhanced computer images of the teeth and gums. This digital technology allows the images to be viewed instantly on a computer screen. The process is efficient, less expensive, and safer than traditional x-rays. Digital scans are used to detect cavities, monitor tooth position, and assess dental needs.

Digital x-rays can provide a complete picture of a person’s teeth, root system, bone alignment and mouth structure, which helps the dentist devise a great and complete smile plan. The crystal-clear digital images provide intricate detail so the dentist can understand all aspects of a patient’s mouth and deliver every aspect of his/her treatment precisely. And not only precisely, digital technology enables safer, quicker, and more long-lasting procedures.

Digital x-rays allow a patient to see a complete picture of his/her teeth to better understand treatment needs.
