We have just installed Gendex Digital X-ray systems in each of our treatment rooms. There are many advantages to digital radiographs for both the dentist and patient.
The images are much more crisp, clear, and in focus. This allows for early detection of many problems before they require extensive treatment. The images appear quickly on a monitor which reduces treatment time. The sensor are small, round and comfortable in the patient’s mouth.
In my opinion, the greatest advantage of digital radiographs is the extremely low amount of radiation that is required to get a great image. Because the digital sensors are so sensitive, we can use 75% less radiation to take the picture. We are proud and excited to introduce our patients to this great technology!
