Digital X-Rays are an essential component of our diagnostic strategy. When problems are caught early, we are able to use much more conservative treatments.
In efforts to provide the most current and safe technology for our patients, our office owns a Planmeca ProMax 3D cone beam x-ray machine, one of the best on the market. It has the capabilities to take 3D images of a tooth that can be used to evaluate the need for a root canal, extraction, or implant. So instead of being referred out for 3D imaging, we are able to offer scans in-house during your appointment.
Benefits of Digital X-Rays:
- Much lower exposure to radiation than traditional film x-rays
- Allows the dentist to see into the depths of your teeth and bones with greater clarity, allowing for more accurate diagnosis and treatment
- You can view them with the dentist on the computer screen, allowing you to better understand the recommended treatment plan
- Environmentally friendly: no chemicals required, no paper waste, no lead film inserts
- Scans are fast, painless, and non-invasive
