Digital radiographs benefit both the dentist and the patient. Most importantly, digital imaging significantly decreases your exposure to radiation by approximately 75%, compared to that of standard x-rays used in many offices. With digital radiographs, we take a picture of your teeth, then almost immediately see it on a computer monitor. This large, color-enhanced image lets us get a better picture of your oral health, allowing for earlier treatment. This process is also better for the environment as it doesn’t use photo chemicals and traditional film, thus eliminating environmental waste.
