Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays are an essential tool in diagnosing oral health conditions and planning surgical procedures. Unlike traditional film X-rays, digital imaging offers a faster, safer, and more detailed view of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures.
Why our patients benefit from digital X-rays:
- Reduced Radiation Exposure: Digital X-rays use up to 90% less radiation than traditional film.
- Immediate Results: Images appear instantly on our computer monitors, allowing us to share findings with you in real time.
- Enhanced Clarity: High-resolution images help us detect issues earlier and plan more precise treatments.
- Environmentally Friendly: No chemicals or film processing means a safer, greener practice.
Whether you’re preparing for wisdom teeth removal or evaluating dental implant placement, our digital X-ray system supports accurate diagnoses and better patient outcomes.
CBCT 3D Imaging
For complex procedures, our practice uses Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) — a specialized 3D imaging system that captures comprehensive views of your teeth, jawbone, nerve pathways, and sinuses.
CBCT technology gives our surgeons a complete, three-dimensional picture of your oral anatomy, far beyond what standard X-rays can provide. This enhanced view is especially important for procedures like:
- Dental implant planning
- Impacted tooth evaluation
- TMJ analysis
- Orthognathic (jaw) surgery
- Pathology detection
Benefits of CBCT 3D imaging include:
- Precise Treatment Planning: Detailed images improve accuracy in surgical procedures and reduce risk.
- Minimally Invasive Approach: Better planning often means less invasive surgery and faster recovery.
- Comfort and Speed: Scans are quick and painless — typically completed in under a minute.
By using CBCT imaging, we’re able to create customized treatment plans that prioritize safety, comfort, and long-term success.
