Digital X-Rays – Less Exposure

What are Digital X-rays?

The physical procedure of digital and traditional X-rays appears the same to a patient. However, digital x-rays are taken electronically and connect to a PC for instant images. This X-ray has some more compelling benefits over the traditional process.

Advantages of Digital X-rays

  1. Less exposure of radiation – The devices used in digital radiography exposes patients to less radiation. Digital x-rays utilize up to 90% less radiation than film x-rays.
  2. Higher image quality – Digital images make magnifying and enlarging easy to do and possible. Contrast, brightness, and color can be adjusted, helping dentists catch smaller cavities easily and confidently. This high image quality boosts the efficiency of a patient’s dental wellbeing.
  3. Shorter dental appointments – We value your time. Gone are the days when you had to wait for film x-rays to produce during an appointment. At Advance Dental Clinic, digital x-rays create images immediately.
  4. Eco-friendly – There is no use of chemicals in digital radiography. Dental practices also need less space for filing cabinets and dark rooms, since both storage and development are done on PCs.
  5. Transferring dental records – Digital x-rays produce images as files on a PC seconds after being captured. These images can be easily stored, shared and copied for a long time. When patients are recommended to visit oral surgeons for serious treatments, our staff and dentists can email images to surgeons, saving time and effort.

At Advance Dental Clinic, our general dentist strives to offer patients the best care. This means using top-notch technology during appointments to make sure that our diagnoses and treatment options are as efficient as possible. We use digital dental X-rays in our clinic to have a close look at our patient’s teeth and make a treatment protocol that will work to provide them a healthy set of teeth.
