Digital X-ray Technology
The computer era has brought us an exciting new technology called digital radiography.
With this technology we use computerized equipment and software to capture x-ray images of your mouth and teeth. We do this by exposing a small sensor or plate that feeds the image into a computer.
Digital radiography has many advantages over traditional x-rays:
- It's faster.
- It's safer, with no chemical development and less radiation.
- We can view images instantly.
- We can enhance images to improve viewing.
- Images can be stored electronically and e-mailed to specialists and insurance companies.
