Advanced Digital Imaging in Bel Air, MD
At Smith & Co. Dental Practitioners in Bel Air, MD, we use advanced digital imaging technology to ensure precise diagnosis and treatment planning. Our digital X-rays allow Dr. Smith to identify oral health issues that are not visible during a standard dental exam—helping us catch problems early and provide the most effective care possible.
Dental radiographs are invaluable aids in diagnosing, treating, and maintaining dental health. Exposure time for dental radiographs is extremely minimal. Dr. Smith utilizes digital imaging technologies within the office. With digital imaging, exposure time is about 50 percent less when compared to traditional radiographs. Digital imaging can also help us retrieve valuable diagnostic information. We may be able to see cavities better.
The advantages of digital imaging enables us to not only store patient images, but also enables us to quickly transfer them to appropriate specialists or insurance companies.
Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays offer more precision since we view the image on a computer monitor, instead of holding up a 35mm film up to the light. Digital X-rays results in 1/6 the radiation exposure to you. Therefore, digital x-rays are safe for everyone, even pregnant women.
