Digital X-Rays In Elmhurst, IL
Digital x-rays are being quickly embraced by the dental industry due to their many advantages. Dentists can now take images of teeth and easily input them into an imaging program with the help of digital x-rays. This program provides a range of tools that allow dentists to closely examine teeth and surrounding structures with exceptional accuracy. Moreover, patients benefit greatly from digital x-rays as they are exposed to nearly 80% less radiation compared to traditional x-rays. This reduced radiation exposure is made possible by the increased sensitivity of digital x-rays to radiation and their focus on ensuring patient safety.
How A Digital Dental X-Ray Works
With the help of a compact radiographic camera, slightly larger than a pen, we can easily capture images of each tooth, replacing the traditional film used in regular X-rays. This advanced technology eliminates the need for chemical development or processing of the images. Instead, the images instantly appear on a computer screen as soon as each scan is completed, allowing both providers and patients to view them within minutes! By making slight adjustments to the angle of the imaging wand, the provider can capture every aspect of each tooth, providing immediate results and saving you from any waiting time.
