At Waugh Chapel Dental, we prioritize your health, comfort and convenience in every aspect of our dental care services. That is why we are proud to offer digital X-rays, a modern advancement in dental imaging that enhances the diagnostic process. Digital X-rays allow us to obtain detailed images of your teeth and gums with minimal exposure to radiation, ensuring a safer and more comfortable experience for you.
Understanding Digital X-rays
Digital X-rays use electronic sensors instead of traditional photographic X-ray film to capture images of your teeth, gums and jawbone. These images are instantly available on a computer screen, allowing for immediate review and diagnosis. This technology not only reduces the time you spend in the dental chair but also significantly decreases exposure to radiation compared to conventional X-rays.
What to Expect During Your Visit
When you visit our dentists for an examination that requires X-rays:
- Our team will position a small digital sensor in your mouth to capture images of your teeth and jaw.
- The process is quick and painless, with the digital sensor being far less intrusive than traditional X-ray films.
- Your X-ray images will be available instantly for you and our dentists to review together on a monitor.
- These images can be easily stored, retrieved or sent to specialists if necessary, facilitating seamless communication and treatment planning.
Benefits of Digital X-Rays
- Reduced Radiation Exposure: Digital X-rays emit up to 90% less radiation than traditional X-rays.
- Immediate Results: Images appear on the screen seconds after being taken, speeding up the diagnostic process.
- Enhanced Image Quality: Digital images can be zoomed in and adjusted for better clarity, aiding in more accurate diagnoses.
