Dental X-ray examinations provide valuable information that could not be collected otherwise.  Radiographs, the proper term for X-rays, look at what is happening beneath what can be seen.

Many diseases of the teeth and surrounding tissues cannot be seen.  An X-ray examination may reveal small areas of decay between the teeth or below existing restorations, infection of the bone, gum disease, abcesses, tumors and developmental abnormalities.  Finding and treating dental problems at an early stage can save time, money and unnecessary discomfort.

Digital imaging takes x-rays to the next level and has many advantages when compared to conventional x-rays.  The level of raditaion is decreased by over 80 percent and the images are displayed instantly.  The ability to enhance these images helps with a more thorough exam and accurate diagnosis.   Other advantages include the ability to send these images immediately to specialists and the ability to store and retrieve these x-rays quickly, which helps increase the speed of treatment and overall monitoring of patients.

Currently, this office uses a variety of state of the art digital imaging through Dexis, Gendex and Aribex.
