Digital Radiography
Our practice has  a ScanX digital radiographic (X ray) system.  Digital radiography has many advantages over traditional dental x-rays

• It's faster
• We can view images instantly.
• There's up to 90 percent less radiation.
• We can enhance images in a variety of ways to improve viewing.
• Images can be stored electronically for instant retrieval in the future, if needed.
• We avoid the chemicals used in the traditional developing process.

With digital radiography, x-rays are taken the same way as conventional methods except that a small phospur plate is inserted into the mouth.  This plate is very sensitive to the x-rays and therefore requires less radiation for each image. The amount of X-ray radiation is reduced by up to 90 percent. Once the x-ray is taken the plate is place into a special computer scanner and once scanned it appears on the computer monitor to be viewed.  On the computer we can see details and make adjustments that are a tremendous help in our diagnosis.  The images are also saved in your electronic chart for instant retrieval when necessar
