Gain an in-depth Look at the State of Your Oral Health With Our Digital X-rays!
While dental X-rays have played a vital role in dentistry for many years (film X-rays were invented in 1895), modern technology has had an incredible impact on this reliable diagnostic tool.
What Benefits Do Digital X-rays Provide?
Providing clear and in-depth images of your teeth and jaw, digital X-rays help dental professionals diagnose and effectively treat developing oral health issues. They also enable dentists (and patients!) to see X-ray results quickly, and because they’re digital, images can be stored easily.
In addition, digital X-rays emit between 70% and 90% less radiation than film X-rays, making them a much safer option for patients. They are also easier on the environment because the toxic chemicals required for film processing – as well as the plastic waste caused by producing images – are no longer utilized. Digital X-rays are also more comfortable for patients as the digital sensor is smaller and easier to place in a patient’s mouth.
Overall, digital X-rays provide many benefits for our Boynton Beach dentist and patients alike. If you suspect you may benefit from a digital x-ray for a dental concern you’re experiencing or if it’s been more than six months since your last examination, call us today.
