Digital X-rays

In the old days, dental x-rays required longer exposure times, higher radiation, and film processing. At Denise Dental Studio, we use state-of-the-art digital x-rays with short exposure times, low radiation, and no need for film.

There are many advantages to the patient. First, the total amount of radiation used when taking dental x-rays is a fraction of that used for conventional dental x-rays. Next, the images are available almost instantly, which saves the patient time in the dental chair. Finally, the x-rays are digital and stored on our office computer for easy retrieval. They can be viewed at any time from a computer—no special light box is required—and they can be easily e-mailed to other dentists who are part of the patient’s treatment team.

Another benefit of digital x-rays is that there are environmentally friendly because there is no need for the chemicals that were previously used to develop film.

At Denise Dental Studio, we use digital x-rays only when necessary for diagnostic purposes. Rest assured that our x-ray technology is totally up to date for the benefit of the patient.
