We understand our patients’ concerns about the frequency of dental x-rays. However, digital dental x-rays remain one of the most valuable diagnostic tools for maintaining your long-term oral health.
This is because x-rays allow us to see deep inside your teeth to detect problems long before they cause you discomfort. Advanced dental technology has made the diagnostic process safer than ever, utilizing state-of-the-art digital sensors.
Key Benefits of Digital Dental X-Rays
One of the most important benefits of digital x-rays is that they expose you to significantly less radiation than traditional film x-rays – some estimates say as much as 90%. Since modern x-rays use digital technology, they produce detailed, high-resolution images that are sent to our secure in-house network.
We can view these images together on your chairside monitor, and Dr. Pryor can point out in detail what the problem is and why treatment is necessary. Seeing your digital tooth images empowers you to make confident, informed decisions about your dental treatment plan.
