Digital X-rays changed the way that dental imaging is used. In the past, X-rays required dentists to use caustic chemicals to develop film and may have required patients to wear radiation-blocking bibs or other protective gear. Digital X-rays remove both of those obstacles. Images are captured using digital sensors, which automatically transmit the images to nearby monitors. Additionally, radiation exposure with digital X-rays is reduced by up to 90 percent, making your X-ray process safer as well as faster and more effective.

Digital X-rays are used to diagnose:

• Tooth decay
• Developmental abnormalities
• Unusual tooth root positioning
• Cysts
• Abscesses
• Tumors
• Infection in the tooth nerves
• Bone loss
• Fractures in teeth and fillings
• And more!

Our dentist may also use digital X-rays to aid in treatment planning, including oral surgery, root canal therapy, orthodontic treatment and implant placement procedures.
