Our practice is committed to bringing the safest and highest quality of care to our patients. The installation of our new digital X-ray system continues that commitment. Using the state-of-the-art ScanX system enables us to provide greatly improved diagnostic capabilities to our patients while significantly lessening their exposure to radiation by up to 80 percent over the old film X-rays. We know this will be very important to many.

Digital X-ray technology also enables our patients to see for themselves the dental conditions. The digital X-ray image is instantly displayed on a large computer screen and can be enhanced and magnified to show conditions such as cavities or structural weaknesses in teeth. It's a wonderful tool for helping our patients fully understand their treatment options.

The x-ray on the left is not digitally enhanced.  The x-ray on the right is digitally enhanced.  If you look closely inside the orange box you will see a crooked vertical line.  This line represents a fractured tooth that is unrestorable and must be extracted.  It is this type of detail and information that we are able to view with digital x-rays.
