We use state-of-the-art digital X-ray(radiographs) system that enables us to take digital scan of the teeth to monitor for caries and other oral diseases not visible to the eye. Benefits of digital Xrays include:
- high resolution sensors acquire digital x-ray images
- reduce radiation exposure to patients
- allow for rapid acquisition time
- digital images that are captured can be easily magnified and viewed on large monitors for diagnosis and discussion
How often dental X-rays should be taken depends on the patient`s individual health needs. It is important to recognize that just as each patient is different from the next, so should the scheduling of Xray exams be individualized for each patient. Your medical and dental history will be reviewed and your mouth examined before a decision is made to take X-rays of your teeth.
