Digital X-rays

There are many benefits to using digital dental x-ray images, including:

• When the digital x-ray image is exposed, it can be sent directly to a computer and viewed right away. For x-ray film to be exposed, a staff member must process it in special chemicals. This takes a few minutes.
• Digital x-ray images can be enlarged on the computer screen. This makes it much easier for you and the dentist to see the pictures. Traditional x-ray films are viewed actual size.
• Digital x-ray images can often be corrected without having to make another x-ray exposure.
• The dental office can print or copy your digital x-ray images. They can also be sent electronically to insurance companies, which may help claims get processed faster.
• Digital x-rays are environmentally friendly. They eliminate the need for film and film processing chemicals.
• Digital x-ray images require up to 70% less radiation.
