Traditional X-rays required film processing and higher levels of radiation. Digital X-rays use a special sensor that is far more sensitive to radiation, which means patients are exposed to almost 80 percent less radiation compared to older methods. This improvement is especially beneficial for children, seniors, and patients who may need X-rays more frequently. The process is faster, more comfortable, and provides instant results so that your dentist can make accurate diagnoses right away.

Another advantage of digital X-rays is that they can be stored electronically and shared instantly with specialists or insurance companies. This simplifies communication and helps ensure that your dental care remains seamless and efficient. Whether you are coming in for a routine checkup, an implant consultation, or a restorative procedure, our digital X-ray system allows us to detect problems early and plan your treatment with precision.
