 Digital X-Rays are a technology that enables us to replace the use of traditional X-rays. With traditional X-rays, we were required to place a film packet in your mouth, take the X-ray and then develop the film packet in chemical solutions - much like the traditional pictures people take. However, like the digital pictures of today, we take digital X-Rays of the tooth creating greater image quality and less radiation, 85% less radiation. The packet for digital X-Rays is connected to a computer in which the image is taken, viewed and stored in the patient's own chart. This not only eliminates the radiation exposure to you, the patient, but also eliminates the chemical exposure for the environment.
With our digital X-Rays, we are able to view the X-ray in greater detail, email the X-ray to a referring specialist and store the image for greater clarity years down the road. For us, the benefits of being digital are in the safety of our patients and environment. Feel free to ask us about our digital X-Rays or to see the images we take.
