DIGITAL X-RAYS Simply Amazing Smiles proudly uses Digital Radiography (digital x-rays) as one of our most significant diagnostic tools. Digital x-ray technology is proving to be one of the most significant improvements in medicine and modern dental care. X-rays are routinely used to help detect the presence of dental problems such as cavities and bone-loss. In the past, dental offices used x-ray film to capture images of the teeth and jaws. Much like photographic film in a camera, these x-ray films needed special chemicals and light conditions for their development into visible images. The chemicals could sometimes be less than friendly to the environment, and albeit very small, the amount of x-ray exposure required to produce an image has been cause for concern for some patients. Digital x-rays have incredible advantages over the older ‘film’ technique. 1. No harmful chemicals are required. 2. No need for leaded film packets. 3. Less waste. 4. Image production is extremely fast, almost instantaneous. 5. Ability to enlarge or enhance images for better visibility. 6. Ability to archive x-rays in a digital file on a computer, as opposed to storing them in a bulky file folder. 7. Ability to quickly email x-rays to specialists for viewing and consultation. 8. Digital x-rays will never deteriorate or lose their quality over time. 9. Computerized density analysis can be used to aid in diagnosis of the earliest lesions, often allowing for the most preventive and affordable care possible. 10. Excellent, predictable and reproducible image quality and resolution. 11. Significantly less radiation exposure as compared to conventional radiographic techniques. Dr. Morhaliek is very excited about this technology and its ability to improve your oral health through enhanced diagnosis. Digital radiography is yet another example of our enduring commitment to your health, safety and well-being.
