Digital X-Ray
The computer era has brought us an exciting new technology called digital radiography.We use computerized equipment and software to capture x-ray images. Once we take the x-ray, the computer immediately recognizes and feeds back the images we need for diagnosis and treatment.
There are multiple advantages of digital radiography compared to traditional film x-rays ;
- Faster
- Safer – 90% less radiation!
- Images can be electronically transferred between specialists.
- Eco-friendly – no chemicals used
Intraoral Camera
You can see what we see
The intraoral camera allows you to be an active partner in your dental treatment by enabling you to see what we see inside your mouth. With a clear understanding of your dental conditions, you’ll be able to make treatment decisions with confidence.
This camera is approximately the size and shape of a dental mirror. It has a built-in light source, so it gives us easy-to-see pictures. You’ll be able to see problems such as defective or broken fillings, cracked teeth, and plaque deposits, cavities, gum disease, or excessive wear. It is also to your advantage that after we’ve treated your dental condition, the intraoral camera lets you see the final work up close.
Images captured with an intraoral camera can often be printed out for you to take home or for us to store with your dental record. They can also be sent to specialists and insurance companies.
