Digital X-rays are a significant advancement in diagnostic imaging, enhancing the quality and efficiency of healthcare delivery. In dentistry, this technology has revolutionized the way we capture and analyze images of your oral health. Unlike traditional X-rays that rely on film, digital X-rays utilize a digital sensor, offering numerous benefits.
One of the primary advantages of digital X-rays is the reduction in radiation exposure. Patients are exposed to significantly lower levels of radiation compared to conventional film X-rays, ensuring their safety. Additionally, the process is more eco-friendly as it eliminates the need for chemicals used in film development.
The convenience of digital X-rays is another notable feature. The images captured are available instantly on monitors within the treatment room. This allows our dentist to provide efficient, accurate diagnoses and personalized care tailored to your needs.
Digital X-rays are an invaluable tool in planning and executing a wide range of dental treatments, such as oral surgery procedures, root canal treatments, dental implants and orthodontics. They also play a vital role in identifying various dental issues, such as:
- Decay between teeth
- Developmental abnormalities
- Improper tooth root positioning
- Cysts, abscesses and tumors
- Fractures in teeth and in existing fillings
- Infection in the tooth nerves
- Bone loss
