Digital Dental X-Rays

Lyndhurst Tooth Imaging

Most dental diseases occur underneath the surface. If we waited until they show up on the top it would be too late. Our Drs. choose carefully which and when radiographs are taken. There are many guidelines that we follow. Radiographs allow us to see everything we cannot see with our own eyes. Radiographs enable us to detect cavities in between your teeth (where you floss), determine bone level, and health of bone. We can also examine the roots of teeth, diagnose lesions such as cysts or tumors, as well as assess damage when trauma occurs.

Our new state of the art dental radiographs are invaluable aids in diagnosing, treating, and maintaining dental health. Exposure time for dental radiographs is extremely minimal. Our Drs. utilize the latest Digital Imaging Technologies within the office. With digital imaging, exposure time is about 50 percent less when compared to traditional radiographs. Digital imaging can also help us retrieve valuable diagnostic information. We may be able to see cavities better.

The advantages of digital imaging enables us to not only store patient images, but also enables us to quickly transfer them to appropriate specialists or insurance companies. Digital X-rays offer more precision since we view the image on a computer monitor, instead of holding up a very small film up to the light. We can also show them to you much easier than the old fashioned regular film pictures.
