Digital Radiography

X-rays are necessary to find hidden disease, in your teeth, jawbones, and soft tissues. Patients are often concerned with too much exposure to radiation, however there is no way to perform a complete exam and acquire the information we need with out X-rays.

Dental X-rays have become very safe over the years with the advancement of faster x-ray films, better x-ray machines, and use of lead aprons with thyroid collars. With the help of new and sophisticated computers, we can reduce x-ray radiation by more than 50%. Now we can use the very minimal amount of radiation to provide a quality diagnostic film.
