What We See Is What We Get
We've invested in a new way of looking into
your mouth—a procedure
that's fast, painless and incredibly precise! Using digital radiography,
we can now clearly identify all external and internal anatomical structures,
and accurately diagnose your dental problems all within seconds and with
minimal radiation exposure! What's even more amazing is that we can immediately
translate that information into a large, clear, accurate image right
next to your chair…ready for discussion. Digital radiography’s
technology improves and simplifies the way we care for our patients’ teeth,
resulting in better dental evaluations and treatment decisions.
Reduced
Radiation, Radical Results
Traditionally, dentists use x-rays to find
out what's going on below the surface, developing them in a darkroom
full of chemicals and examining
the resulting films on a special light board. Digital radiography
entirely outmodes that cumbersome process. Now, a tiny sensor placed
in the
mouth acts like a miniature VCR camera with an x-ray sensitive chip,
exposing
you to 50%-90% less radiation exposure than with traditional x-ray
techniques. The resulting highly detailed image of your mouth is
almost instantaneously
translated onto our computer screen, carrying with it all the conveniences
of other digitized images. We can rotate it, magnify it, adjust it
for contrast, and even color-code it for educational purposes. Further,
we
can store it easily and efficiently in our computer files, eliminating
paper files as well as image wear and tear. For insurance purposes,
referrals or patient education, it can be easily, inexpensively and
faithfully
reproduced any number of times. And because it helps our patients
clearly understand the root issues behind
