Much Safer | | Digital Radiography
Our office has made the transformation from film-based x-rays to digital radiography. Just like your digital camera, we have no waiting in the chair for the x-rays to develop. The films pop up on the computer screen instantly and the doctors can discuss them with you!
Digital radiographs are reproducible in their original form either through printing or in digital transfer. This increases the ease in communication with specialists and other dentists and preserves your permanent record with greater accuracy.
The radiation exposure time for digital films is only 8-10% of the normal radiation exposure. Since we have a digital panoramic unit, we can take panoramic radiographs with only 25-30% of the traditional exposure time.
By using digital films we positively impact the environment. No more toxic chemicals and metallic waste. |
