Dr. Thomas Beague and Dr. Nick Simon use digital X-rays to examine your teeth and supporting structures. Digital X-rays have revolutionized diagnostic imaging in various fields of healthcare, offering numerous advantages over traditional film-based X-rays. And are an invaluable tool for providing patients with superior care.
Utilizing a digital sensor instead of traditional X-ray film, digital X-rays offer several key benefits. First and foremost, they drastically reduce radiation exposure for patients, making the procedure safer. Additionally, the elimination of film and chemicals in the development process not only promotes environmental friendliness but also streamlines the entire X-ray process, making it faster and more comfortable for patients.
One of the standout advantages of digital X-rays is the immediate availability of high-quality images. Our dentists can view these images on monitors as soon as they are taken, which allows for faster and more accurate diagnoses of developing dental problems and facilitates more effective treatment planning.
Digital X-rays play a crucial role in identifying a wide range of dental problems, including:
- Cavities and tooth decay, including decay between the teeth
- Developmental abnormalities
- Improper tooth root positioning
- Cysts, abscess and tumors
- Fractures in the teeth or in existing restorations
- Infection in the tooth nerves and bone loss
X-rays are also indispensable for planning a variety of dental procedures, including oral surgeries, root canal treatment, dental implants and orthodontics. These images provide dentists with critical insights into a patient’s oral health, ensuring that treatments are precise and effective. The comprehensive nature of these X-rays ensures that your treatment plan is tailored to your unique needs and will help you enjoy the best possible results for your smile and oral health.
