We recently installed digital x-rays in our office. With this system we have the ability to take x-rays using a sensor as opposed to film. These x-rays are then instantly shown on a computer screen at many times larger than a typical film making it easier to find problems with your teeth while they are small and also easier to show you what we do find. As an added benefit these sensors require much less radiation than does film, thus, you will receive a much lower dose than the already low dose you received with film.
This system not only is good for you, but better for the environment. Going digital allows us to eliminate the use of chemicals from our film processing. This transition is the next step in our long-term goal of becoming a paperless office. With these new upgrades we are going to be able to continue to provide you with the best care, today and into the future.
