Digital X-Rays

Technological advancements are an everyday occurrence in our world and dentistry is no exception. We’ve invested in a whole new way to look into your mouth, a procedure that’s fast comfortable and incredibly precise- digital X-rays. Digital radiography brings with it the benefits of traditional X-rays, but incorporates new dimensions of safety and convenience.

Reduced Radiation, Radical Results

We all know the diagnostic importance of X-rays. The ability to see anatomical structures not visible with the naked eye gives dentists an innovative way of viewing a patient’s teeth. But radiation exposure is always a concern among patients and rightfully so. Now, digital X-rays not only provide us with clear, accurate images of your teeth, they also minimize radiation exposure, emitting up to 90% less than conventional X-rays.

How Does a Digital X-Ray Work?

A tiny sensor placed in your mouth emits a small amount of radiation, creating a digital image of your internal oral structures and giving Dr. Bass the opportunity to accurately diagnose your dental problems. What’s more, because the image is immediately viewable on a monitor in the operatory, you won’t have to leave the chair as you and Dr. Bass study the digital X-ray together. As the most important member of your dental team, you need to understand the condition of your mouth, as well as our recommendations for treatment. Digital radiographs help us help you.

Digital X-rays offer unparalleled benefits over traditional radiographs: they’re convenient, safe for the environment, provide a great opportunity for patient education, can be transferred and copied accurately, and best of all, they’re safer for our patients.
