Digital X-Ray uses a digital sensor rather than X-ray film to capture in-depth images of your teeth, jawbone, and surrounding structures. With digital X-rays, your dentist can identify and diagnose several types of dental problems, such as:
- Developmental abnormalities
- Bone loss
- Tooth decay, including decay between teeth
- Infection in the tooth nerves
- Improper tooth root positions
- Tumors
- Cracks in existing fillings
- Abscesses and cysts
The process for taking digital X-rays is faster and more comfortable for patients. Digital radiography also utilizes significantly less radiation. The images provided by digital X-rays are of a very high quality, allowing us to expand them and easily manipulate the light/dark contrast to better evaluate your oral health. If you would like to learn more about the benefits of digital radiography, we invite you to call (508) 709-7750 or visit Wave Dental in Worcester, MA today.
