At Premier Orthodontics & Dental Specialists, we are committed to staying at the forefront of technological advancements to ensure our patients receive the best possible care. One of the ways we achieve this is through the use of digital X-rays, a pivotal tool in modern orthodontics.

What Are Digital X-Rays?

Digital X-rays are a form of digital imaging used to capture detailed images of the inside of your mouth, including your teeth, jaw and surrounding areas. Unlike traditional film X-rays, digital X-rays use electronic sensors to capture images, which are immediately available for viewing on a computer screen. This advanced technology allows for a more comfortable experience, quicker results and enhanced image quality, which are vital for precise orthodontic planning and treatment.

What to Expect

When you come to our office for digital X-rays, you can expect a quick and painless experience. The process involves placing a small sensor in your mouth, which is connected to a computer. As the X-ray machine captures the images, they are instantly displayed on the screen for your orthodontist to review. The entire process is fast, typically taking just a few minutes from start to finish.

Benefits of Digital X-Rays

  • Enhanced Image Quality: Digital X-rays provide clearer, more detailed images, allowing for a more accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.
  • Immediate Availability: The images are available instantly, enabling us to review and discuss your results without delay.
  • Reduced Radiation Exposure: Digital X-rays emit significantly less radiation compared to traditional X-rays, making them a safer option.
  • Easy Sharing and Storage: Images can be easily stored on our computer system for future reference and shared electronically with other dental professionals if necessary.
  • Environmentally Friendly: Without the need for film or chemicals used in traditional X-rays, digital X-rays are a more eco-friendly option.
