WHAT IS DIGITAL X-RAY TECHNOLOGY?

Digital X-rays, or digital radiography, is an advanced imaging technology that replaces traditional film X-rays with high-resolution digital sensors. These sensors quickly capture detailed images of your teeth, gums, and jaw with significantly lower radiation exposure.

At Navarro Dental Center, we use cutting-edge digital imaging services to provide accurate diagnoses and personalized treatment plans while prioritizing your safety and comfort.

WHEN IS A DIGITAL X-RAY USED?

Digital X-rays are a key diagnostic tool used in various dental treatments, including:

  • Routine Dental Exams: Checking for cavities, bone loss, and other hidden issues.
  • Orthodontic Planning: Mapping out tooth alignment for braces or Invisalign®.
  • Dental Implants and Restorations: Assessing jawbone health and structure before placing implants, crowns, or bridges.
  • Gum Disease Diagnosis: Detecting early signs of periodontal disease and bone deterioration.
  • Wisdom Teeth and Extractions: Evaluating wisdom teeth positioning for removal planning.
  • Emergency Dental Care: Identifying fractures, infections, or other urgent dental conditions.

If you’re looking for reliable X-ray services, Navarro Dental Center provides fast, comfortable, low-radiation imaging services tailored to your dental needs.

HOW DO DIGITAL X-RAYS WORK?

The process of taking digital X-rays is quick and hassle-free:

  1. Digital Sensor Placement
    A small, comfortable sensor is placed inside your mouth to capture images of your teeth and jaw. Unlike traditional film X-rays, there’s no need for bitewings or uncomfortable film holders.
  2. Instant Image Capture
    Once the sensor is positioned, the X-ray machine sends a quick, low-dose radiation beam to capture the image. The process is completed within seconds, significantly reducing your time in the dental chair.
  3. Immediate Results And Diagnostics
    The captured images appear instantly on our computer screen, letting our dentists zoom in, enhance, and analyze them in real time. This provides a faster and more accurate diagnosis, helping us detect even the smallest dental issues before they become bigger problems.
