Not even the trained eye can see internal dental issues at first, so at Best Dental Care, we use advanced technology to treat oral problems and enhance your health. Digital X-rays are a modern update to the traditional method, and their effectiveness and accuracy are unmatched. With this type of scanning, we can find any problems hiding behind your smile and pave the way toward healthy teeth!
How Are Digital X-Rays Different from Traditional Ones?
Thanks to technological advances, X-ray images have taken a digital form, which is more beneficial for our patients. The main difference between traditional and digital X-rays is that, with the more modern version, images show on our computer as soon as we capture them.
Even though the two are helpful ways to take a deeper look at your mouth, digital x-rays use less radiation than standard ones, keeping you safer throughout the scanning. Digital X-rays also produce better quality images, so you get your money’s worth from this procedure, and we make a more precise diagnosis.
When Are Digital X-Rays Necessary?
We usually suggest receiving X-Rays once a year, but if you’re prone to severe oral issues like decay or infection, you might need these scans more often. With digital x-rays, we can examine your roots, nerves, gums, and teeth and catch early signs of these and other dental problems:
- Tooth abscess
- Jawbone loss
- Decay
- Fractures
- Impacted teeth
- Oral cancer
Are Digital X-Rays Safe?
Radiation is no joke, so we use a low dosage that isn’t dangerous for you. We ensure you only take digital X-rays when necessary, which allows us to keep your overall and dental health at their best!
