Digital X-rays

Overview

Digital X-rays are used whenever possible to provide clear, accurate images of the teeth and jawbone.  Exposure to radiation is reduced by up to 60% compared to conventional film X-rays!  The images can be enlarged and enhanced to help aid in the diagnosis of a variety of dental problems including dental decay, gum disease and bone loss, root canal infections, broken teeth, and growths in the jawbone.
