Our practice is equipped with a
state of the art digital x-ray machine. Digital x-rays offer great
advantages over conventional x-rays.
Safer
- One of the main benefits to patients
is that the amount of radiation exposed to is significantly
reduced. Digital x-rays use 50-90% less radiation that the
conventional x-rays.
- No toxic chemicals are used to
develop the films.
Faster
- No time is wasted on processing and
mounting x-ray film. We can spend more clinical time with you as the
images are displayed in seconds on our monitor.
Better
- You can see your x-ray image on a
full screen monitor for viewing rather than a thumbnail size film.
- Digital tools used to analyse
digital x-rays allow us to quickly and more accurately diagnose
areas of dental decay. Images can also be digitally enhanced for
better diagnosis. The highly detailed images can be rotated,
magnified, adjusted for contrast and even colour-coded to make it
easier for you to understand.
