This advancement in technology improves the way we take X-rays, making the entire process faster, more comfortable and more convenient than they have ever been. We utilize digital X-rays in order you with the highest order of dental care that we can.

The first and most immediate way that digital X-rays are different from tradition X-rays is the way that the image is taken. Rather than film, this technology uses a digital sensor to capture the image of your teeth.

This means a few things. First is that the image is captured much more quickly, which in turn means that you are exposed to significantly less radiation that when film is used. The second is that there is no need to use chemicals in order to develop the film. This leads to the third benefit. Our dentists can immediately view these high-quality images and even share them with you.

• Tooth decay between your teeth
