Digital
radiography (digital
x-ray) is the newest technology
used in dentistry to take dental
x-rays. This technique takes
a digital picture of your teeth
with their supporting bone structures
and stores the images on a computer.
You and your doctor will be
able to instantly view your
x-rays and enlarge the image
to aid in the identification
of dental problems inside the
teeth and below the gums. Digital
x-rays significantly reduce
the amount of radiation as compared
to traditional dental x-rays. |
Intra-Oral
Camera is a small video
camera about the size of a pen
that creates digital images
that can be stored on a computer.
The images are shared with our
patients so they can join with
us in the "co-diagnosis"
of problems with their dental
health. We can show you how
others view your smile and which
fillings are broken or discolored.
We look forward to showing you
a dental tour of your mouth
in the privacy of your treatment
room. |

(gum tissue.) |
