You may have had to have an X-ray on your arm when you were a kid to see if it was broken or not, but X-rays are also used in dentistry as a way for us to check on your overall oral health— specifically the bones in your mouth. And although traditional X-rays are still used in many dental offices, here at our Clear Lake Dental office we use digital X-ray sand fin that they’re a little more efficient. Why?
Having to print off clients’ X-rays multiple times a day is not something that’s going to leave a good imprint on the environment. With digital X-rays, we get rid of the need to print them out and can just look at them on our computers instead, which is way more environmentally friendly.
If you have to go to an endodontist or periodontist for a more specialized oral procedure, we can easily transfer your digital X-rays through email or the cloud, which makes it so they can get your X-ray results right away without having to wait at all.
You may be surprised to know this, but digital X-rays use 90 percent— yes, you read that right— less radiation than traditional film X-rays which is way better for your health and body.
It’s one thing when we can pull your X-rays up on our computers and show them to you right away, but it’s another thing to see how much better quality the images are. Traditional X-rays can be hard to see sometimes, but with digital X-rays, we can show you a crisper image every time.
You may not think much about the X-rays that you are getting done when you got to the dentist, but we do. We make sure to provide all of our patients with the best technology and results; including with our X-ray technology.
