FAQ
What are digital X-rays and how do they differ from traditional X-rays?
Digital X-rays are a modern imaging technology that uses electronic sensors to capture and store X-ray images on a computer. Unlike traditional X-rays, they require less radiation and provide immediate results, allowing for quicker diagnosis and treatment planning.
Are digital X-rays safe?
Yes, digital X-rays are considered safe. They use significantly lower levels of radiation compared to traditional X-rays. Additionally, the images are processed digitally, reducing the risk of errors and providing clearer, more detailed images for accurate diagnosis.
How often should digital X-rays be taken?
The frequency of digital X-rays depends on your individual dental health needs. For routine monitoring, they may be taken every 1 to 2 years. Our dentists will determine the appropriate schedule based on your oral health and any specific concerns.
Can digital X-rays detect all types of dental issues?
Digital X-rays are highly effective in detecting a wide range of dental issues, including cavities, bone loss and problems with tooth roots. However, they may not always detect every issue, so they are often used in conjunction with other diagnostic tools and clinical exams.
