Digital X-rays are a modern diagnostic tool that we use to enhance the quality of care at our dental office. By utilizing advanced digital radiography technology, our dentist and team can take precise images of your teeth and jaw with greater efficiency and accuracy. This method has several advantages over traditional X-rays, making the process quicker, more comfortable and safer for you.
One of the key benefits of digital X-rays is the reduced radiation exposure. Digital radiography uses significantly less radiation compared to conventional film X-rays, making it a safer option for both you and our team. Additionally, the images are captured using a small digital sensor, which means there is no need for chemical processing. This eco-friendly approach also allows us to view the high-resolution images immediately on a computer screen, speeding up the diagnostic process.
Digital X-rays help us detect and diagnose a variety of dental issues, including:
- Cavities between teeth
- Infections in tooth roots
- Bone loss
- Developmental abnormalities
- Tooth damage or damage to existing restorations, such as cracking
- Tumors, cysts and abscesses
- Alignment issues, including improper tooth root positioning
X-rays are also essential for planning treatments such as dental implants, root canals, orthodontic treatment and oral surgery. In many cases, digital X-rays allow Dr. Lindsey Dalley to catch problems early before they become more serious and require more extensive treatments.
We use digital X-rays to ensure that your treatment is both precise and efficient. The images provide a detailed view of the structures beneath the surface of your teeth and gums, allowing our experienced dentist to create tailored treatment plans for your unique needs.
