Worried about X-Rays? Don't Be...Here's Why.

Digital Dental X-Rays Vs. Traditional X-Rays

Digital X-Rays are safer, faster, more accurate and easier on the environment than traditional X-Rays. The traditional X-ray film development process requires the use and disposal of toxic chemicals. No chemicals are needed for digital X-rays, making it easier on the environment.

We are happy to let you know that we have converted to digital radiography for an X-ray system that is safer, faster, more accurate and easier on the environment.

Many patients have expressed concern about radiation exposure when receiving their dental X-rays. While they have wanted the diagnostic benefit of an X-ray, they have not wanted the radiation exposure. Digital X-rays eliminate that worry. Compared to traditional X-rays, digital X-rays reduce radiation exposure by as much as 85%.

You will not need to wait as long for the results of your digital X-ray. Traditional X-rays take 8 to 10 minutes to process. Once the digital sensor is placed next to your teeth, it takes only seconds for you digital X-ray to appear on the computer screen, ready to be viewed by you and your dentist.

Digital X-rays are more accurate. Your dentist can enlarge images and enhance the contrast to your digital X-ray, making it easier for your dentist to see and diagnose any problems.
