Digital X-Rays

Radiographs allow us to see everything we cannot see with our own eyes such as:

• detect cavities in between your teeth
• determine bone level and health of bone
• examine the roots and nerves of teeth
• diagnose lesions such as cysts or tumors
• assess damage when trauma occurs

Digital x-rays offer more precision since we view the image on a computer monitor and we are able to zoom in on questionable areas to get a better view, instead of holding up a 35mm film up to the light. We can store them better and last but not least, digital x-ray exposure is 80% less than traditional film. This basically means you get more radiation exposure if you were to take a flight from New York to LA.
