One of the advanced diagnostic tools used at Moritz Dental Care is the digital X-ray. Digital X-rays have significantly improved the process of taking dental images, making it faster, more comfortable, and more convenient. In the past, traditional film radiography required more time to capture images and involved the use of toxic materials for image development. In contrast, digital radiography uses small digital sensors to capture high-quality images of your teeth and the surrounding oral structures. These images can be viewed instantly on a nearby monitor. Additionally, digital X-rays are highly safe, producing up to 90% less radiation than traditional film X-rays.
What Can Digital X-rays Diagnose?
- Tooth decay
- Developmental abnormalities
- Unusually positioned tooth roots
- Cysts
- Abscesses
- Fractures in teeth and existing restorations
- Tumors
- Infections in the tooth nerves and other areas of the mouth
- Bone loss
Moreover, digital X-rays are an essential tool in planning dental treatments, including oral surgery procedures, root canal therapy, dental implant placement, orthodontic treatment, and more.
