Digital X-rays are a modern, safer and more efficient alternative to traditional X-rays. They allow us to capture detailed images of your teeth, gums and jaw quickly and with minimal radiation exposure, helping us diagnose and treat dental issues with precision.

What Are Digital X-Rays?

Digital X-rays use advanced sensors and digital technology to capture detailed images of your mouth. Unlike traditional X-rays, which rely on film, digital X-rays produce instant images that can be viewed on a computer screen. This allows Dr. Clara Nguyen to evaluate your oral health in real-time and share the images with you during your appointment. Digital X-rays are an essential tool for diagnosing a range of dental issues, from cavities to bone loss and impacted teeth.

Benefits of Digital X-Rays

There are several advantages to using digital X-rays for dental imaging:

  • Reduced Radiation Exposure: Digital X-rays use up to 90% less radiation compared to traditional X-rays, making them a safer option for patients.
  • Instant Results: The images are available immediately, allowing us to make quick and accurate diagnoses.
  • High-Quality Images: Digital X-rays provide clearer and more detailed images, improving the accuracy of diagnosis and treatment planning.
  • Environmentally Friendly: Since digital X-rays do not require film processing, they reduce the use of chemicals and materials, making them an eco-friendly option.
  • Easy Sharing and Storage: Digital X-rays can be easily shared with specialists or insurance providers and stored for future reference.

How Digital X-Rays Improve Dental Care

With digital X-rays, our dentist and team can detect dental problems early, often before they cause discomfort or become more serious. This allows for more effective treatment and better long-term outcomes. Additionally, the reduced radiation exposure makes digital X-rays a safer option for patients who require frequent imaging.
