The benefits of digital dental x-rays

Choosing a dental office with the latest technologies is critical to getting the care you need. At Ten Mile Smiles of Meridian, Idaho, our dentists work with advanced systems and solutions to ensure the best possible options for your oral health needs. This includes offering digital dental radiography with panoramic images. Digital dental x-rays provided at our practice have several benefits.

What are the best advantages of digital dental x-rays?

With digital dental radiography, patients can enjoy several benefits when compared to more traditional types of dental x-rays, including:

• Reduced exposure to radiation. Digital x-rays generate significantly less radiation than traditional film radiography, allowing for safer imaging.
• Faster results. Digital dental images are available almost instantly and can be manipulated on the computer screen or printed out if necessary.
• Precision. The detailed images produced by digital dental radiography provide dentists with more accurate information, allowing dentists to zoom in to see more details to ensure a proper diagnosis.

What are dental x-rays used to achieve?

When you visit Ten Mile Smiles for the first time, we will always take a set of dental x-rays to get a good idea of your oral health and wellness during your appointment. Then, we use x-rays to obtain images over time to monitor oral health or to look for the cause of specific issues, such as pain and discomfort. Often conditions can develop under the teeth or inside of the teeth that can only be diagnosed with specialized imaging–not just a physical evaluation of the teeth and gums. We also use digital dental imaging to plan for certain dental procedures before we perform them.
