Digital X-Rays

Digital X-Rays are different from traditional dental X-Rays. Instead of needing to be sent to a dark room to be developed, the X-Ray image is instead sent directly to the computer, where Dr. Kelly can view it immediately. Digital X-Rays are much simpler and quicker than traditional dental X-Rays. 

Benefits of Digital Dental X-Rays

There are many benefits of digital X-Rays when compared to traditional X-Rays. These benefits can include: 

• Instead of needing to wait to have film developed before X-Rays can be viewed, they are instead able to be viewed immediately on the computer.
• Up to 70% less radiation is required to produce a digital X-Ray than a traditional X-Ray. This puts many patients at ease.
• Digital X-Rays are able to be archived or stored on the computer and in your patient records.
• Digital images can be enhanced so that certain areas can be more clearly seen.
• Digital images can be made larger, allowing Dr. Kelly to find smaller problems more easily.
• Lastly, when compared to traditional X-Rays, digital X-Rays are much more environmental friendly.  

Digital X-Rays are also more comfortable for our patients and they make it easier for dentists to share records with specialists if you find you need a referral.
