Digital X-rays

Digital X-rays are a popular diagnostic tool used in dentistry to identify, diagnose, treat, and monitor oral problems more efficiently. Compared to traditional X-rays, digital X-rays have less radiation while also improving accuracy, precision, and ease of use.

What Are Digital X-Rays Used For?

Digital x-rays are used for the following purposes in dentistry:

• To obtain the necessary information for dental procedures and treatments
• To confirm the presence of an oral condition and assess its severity
• To determine the overall health of teeth and surrounding bone

Benefits of Digital X-Rays
