Diagnosis of dental issues, whether it’s an infection, treatment planning for extractions or implants, or simply to look for hidden cavities, requires the use of X-rays. Instead of using traditional bitewing x-rays, we use more advanced technology with digital x-rays at our Baytown, TX dental practice. Digital X-rays are fast, effective, and the results are very precise.
There are many benefits to our patients when getting digital x-rays, including the following:
1. They use up to 80 percent less radiation, making it a safer option.
2. Digital images can be adjusted, rotated, and color coded for proper diagnosing.
3. The process is more comfortable by using a small sensor instead of large, uncomfortably fitting bitewings.
4. They are available instantly instead of needing to go through a processing step.
5. Our dentist Dr. Ivi Sanguinetti can use them as an education tool by showing the patient x-ray images on a computer screen.
Digital X-rays provide multiple advantages for the patients and the dentist. We have replaced traditional X-rays with these new, more advanced X-rays and have found it to be a more improved process from beginning to end. If you are in need of x-rays, call Dr. Ivi Sanguinetti at 281-421-5950 for digital X-rays.
