Digital X-rays use a digital sensor instead of film to capture images of the teeth and bones. The digital sensor is connected to a computer, which displays the images on a screen. These allow us to get a more detailed look at your teeth and jaws, which can help us provide more targeted treatment for problems such as:
- Tooth decay
- Cysts and abscesses
- Damaged fillings
- Infection in the nerves
- Periodontal disease
- Wisdom teeth eruption
- Bone loss
- Tumors
- Fractured teeth
Digital X-rays offer many benefits over traditional film x-rays. They are quicker and easier to take, provide instant images that can be manipulated by your dentist for a more accurate diagnosis and expose you to less radiation. Other benefits include,
- Cost-effective: Since these types of X-rays do not require us to use film and chemicals to view your results, the costs are significantly lower than traditional X-rays.
- High-quality images: Our dentists can view your X-rays more closely to capture all the details before we recommend treatment.
- Improved Patient Education: If you are more of a visual learner, our dentists and team are happy to show you what we can see to better explain what may be going on with your smile.
This diagnostic tool is also useful in planning out your dental treatment and planning a variety of treatments from dental implants to orthodontic treatment. Whatever the case may be for you, Dr. Peter Scordakis and Dr. Dina Wasileski will make sure to perform these carefully so you can receive the quality care you deserve.
