Dental Imaging With X-Rays & Dental CT Scans
Our in house lab also offers digital radiography using the latest equipment for fast and accurate dental X-rays. Digital X-rays are different that traditional X-ray films thanks to the use of micro sensors that can capture and store dental images on a disk or computer. The images are digital so they can be enlarged or reduced instantly, allowing our dentists a quick snapshot of what the problems are and what it would cost to fix them. Modern digital based X-ray machines also allow for a massive reduction in radiation when compared to traditional X-ray imaging machines.
These Dental records are essential as a diagnostic tool to help us safely and accurately detect any hidden dental/oral abnormalities that might prevent a successful treatment plan. Please note that without X-rays or CT Scans we cannot provided an accurate dental assessments with fixed pricing. Worse yet, not having regular dental care and diagnostics may result in serious problems going undetected until its too late.

Safety of Dental Imaging
Modern Digital X-rays are are much safer than traditional X-rays because they produce significantly less radiation. The digital scans are also much faster and less awkward than previous technologies. The dental images are captured electronically so the results are instant unlike before when dentists had to wait to develop X-rays in a photographic lab. This also helps reduce waste and eliminates the disposal need for any harmful chemicals back into our environment.
Despite the low level of radiation in our modern machines we still take extra precautions to limit any unnecessary exposure to radiation by using thick lead apron shields that covers the patients body.
