Digital x-rays give us crisp, clear images while exposing you to less radiation.
An Important Diagnostic Tool
Dental x-rays are essential for detecting a range of issues, including tooth decay, abnormal growths, impacted teeth, gum disease, abscesses and bone loss. They let the dentist see areas that aren’t visible to the naked eye like inside of your teeth and below your gums and jawbone.
While conventional dental x-rays are considered safe and the benefits typically outweigh the small risk, we use digital x-rays here at South Rock Dental. Not only do digital x-rays give us higher quality images, they also emit up to 80% less radiation than their traditional counterparts.
Benefits Of
Digital X-Rays
Fast
Digital x-rays rely on sensors instead of film. So they don’t need to be developed or processed. The images show up almost instantly on our computer screen.
Safe
Our low-dose, digital x-rays expose patients to significantly less radiation than conventional x-rays, making them safe for all ages.
Precise
Digital radiographs are sharper and clearer than film x-rays. We can also enhance the contrast and zoom in, which helps us catch problems in their earliest stages.
Eco-Friendly
Digital x-rays are safer for patients, our team and the environment. This is because there is no film to develop or store and no need for harmful chemicals.
