Dental imaging lets your provider immediately detect and diagnose oral health issues. This allows for successful treatment planning to alleviate any pain or discomfort you may be experiencing, correct or prevent any oral health issues, and improve the health and appearance of your smile.
Benefits of Digital X-rays
Over the past few decades, dental technology has seen drastic advancement as the need for more precise diagnostic tools has increased. This includes the digitization of X-ray technology.
Offering superior resolution with less radiation exposure, digital radiography is an excellent way to help diagnose oral problems.
Digital X-rays not only use 90% less radiation than traditional film X-rays but are also much less time-consuming, making them one of the most important advancements in modern dentistry.
