Digital Radiography – What You Need to Know

​

Digital radiography, also known as digital X-rays, is a modern and efficient way to capture detailed images of your teeth. Instead of traditional film, a small sensor is placed in your mouth, which is electronically connected to a computer. Once the image is taken, your dentist can view it instantly on-screen, adjust the brightness or contrast, and zoom in for a clearer look. This allows for faster diagnosis and earlier treatment of potential issues—often before they become serious problems.​

​

Why Choose Digital X-Rays?

​

Digital radiography offers numerous benefits compared to conventional X-rays. Patients are exposed to significantly less radiation, making it a safer option overall. The process is also quicker, eliminating the need for chemical processing. Images are of high quality and can easily be enlarged for better viewing, helping your dentist spot even the smallest concerns. Plus, digital files are easy to share if you need to transfer your dental records.
