At Elite Smiles Dentistry, we are committed to leveraging the latest advancements in dental technology to enhance patient care, which is why we offer digital X-rays as a standard part of our diagnostic toolkit. Our experienced dentists and team utilize digital radiography to gain detailed insights into your oral health, ensuring accurate diagnoses and tailored treatment plans.
What are Digital X-Rays?
Digital X-rays are a modern form of dental imaging that uses electronic sensors instead of traditional photographic X-ray film. This technology captures detailed images of your teeth, gums and jawbone, which are instantly available for review on a computer screen. Digital X-rays emit significantly less radiation than conventional X-rays, making them a safer option for our patients.
The Process
The process of taking digital X-rays is quick and comfortable. A small sensor placed in your mouth captures images of your teeth and bone structure with minimal exposure to radiation. These images provide critical information that helps us identify issues not visible during a standard dental examination, such as early signs of decay, gum disease, infections and other oral health problems.
Benefits of Digital X-Rays
- Reduced radiation exposure compared to traditional X-rays
- Instant availability of images for faster diagnosis and treatment planning
- Enhanced image quality for better detection of dental issues
- Environmentally friendly with no need for chemical processing
- Easier storage and sharing of images for comprehensive care coordination
