For over 100 years, film x-rays have been used to view the internal structures of the jaws and teeth, allowing dentists to provide their patients with more accurate and comprehensive care. Today, however, technology has advanced to the point that film x-rays are nigh obsolete. At Southridge Dental, our team uses only the latest in digital x-ray technology, passing the benefits of the most advanced techniques on to our patients every day.
Why Are Digital X-Rays Better?
Patients who are concerned about exposure to radiation will be happy to hear that our digital x-rays are up to 80 percent safer than traditional film radiography machines. They are also much more accurate, producing crystal clear images with quality that far surpasses film x-rays. This means that we are better able to detect even the tiniest of fractures or areas of decay and begin treatment before they worsen. Digital x-rays are also better for the environment. There’s no need for hazardous developing chemicals or film, and everything is stored securely on a computer’s hard drive.
With a digital x-ray, both doctor and patient are able to view images on a nearby monitor within mere seconds, promoting patient education and a better understanding of proposed treatment. We want you to feel informed regarding the status of your oral health, and digital x-rays help us accomplish that.
