Digital X-Ray Digital sensors capture detailed x-ray images with a fraction of the exposure found in traditional film x-rays. The technological advancements also allow for safer procedures and higher quality treatments because they provide additional information about what is happening inside someone's mouth during an examination that was not possible before this technology came into play! Benefits: Safety - Digital x-rays are much safer than traditional film-developing images, as digital dental x-rays only use a tiny amount of radiation: up to 90% less than older systems that rely on films. Time Savings – Digital sensors instantly snap pictures that save you time in the dental chair. Better Outcomes - Dr. Boyer's diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities are enhanced by improved image clarity. Digital x-rays are used to detect cavities when they are tiny, frequently allowing for less invasive treatment. Lead aprons and taking x-rays only when necessary further reduce your child’s exposure.
