At Willowood Dental, we pride ourselves on using the latest technology to provide the best possible care. One of the most significant advancements in recent years is the move from traditional film X-rays to digital imaging.
What are Digital X-Rays?
Digital X-rays use electronic sensors instead of traditional film. The images are captured instantly and sent to a computer, where they can be viewed immediately by both the dentist and the patient.
Benefits of Digital Imaging
- Reduced Radiation: Digital X-rays emit up to 80% less radiation than traditional film, making them significantly safer for patients.
- Instant Results: No more waiting for film to develop. We can see what’s happening in your mouth in real-time.
- Better Accuracy: Digital images can be enlarged, enhanced, and color-coded, allowing for far more precise diagnoses.
- Environmentally Friendly: Because there is no film or chemical processing, digital X-rays are better for the planet.
By investing in technology like digital X-rays, we ensure that your visits are faster, safer, and more effective.
