Diagnosing and Monitoring Oral Health Concerns
Part of your routine examination and cleaning appointment includes having X-rays taken of your smile. X-rays not only allow your dentist to get a better look at difficult-to-see areas of the mouth, but now thanks to digital X-rays, improved image quality and accuracy allow for a much more personalized approach to your dental treatment plan.
Benefits, Efficiency, and Convenience
Digital imaging is essential to modern diagnostic and treatment services, and digital X-rays are the most common form of imaging. We take your X-rays at least once per year, or as necessary for diagnostic purposes. Not only are digital X-rays faster and safer than traditional radiography, but the equipment also emits up to 90% less radiation than traditional X-rays.
Another major benefit of digital X-rays is that you don’t have to wait while your image is being processed. This is because the image is digitally projected onto a chairside monitor, making them appear nearly instantaneously once scans are complete.
