Digital X-rays are a more streamlined way of taking dental radiographs at the Birmingham Center for Cosmetic Dentistry. Like traditional X-rays, digital versions provide an in-depth view of the structures of the mouth, helping dentists detect complications and develop effective modes of treatment. Digital X-rays are capable of revealing hidden caries, bone erosion, and even tooth decay hiding beneath restorations as part of our preventive dentistry services.
Requiring less radiation and no film to process, digital x-rays have become the standard for oral imaging. These systems produce instant digital images that can easily be enhanced and enlarged for a more accurate diagnosis. The images are captured, stored, and even transmitted via in-office computers. In fact, dentists can easily print or email copies of x-rays in just seconds.
Dental x-rays make for a better and more efficient patient experience.
Office visits are faster, patients are exposed to less radiation, and radiographs can be sent to a specialist for review in a fraction of the time necessary for traditional film x-rays.
