How Digital X-rays Help Us Provide Better Service

Advancements in dental technology have greatly improved the way that dentists practice, enriching every part of dental treatment. New technology has even changed the way that we X-ray patients’ teeth with digital X-rays becoming the go-to for many dentists. At Hoye Dental, we strive to provide patients with superior service by using up-to-date technology, including digital radiography.

Digital X-rays are taken in a similar manner to traditional X-rays that use film, but rather than placing film in the patient’s mouth, it is a digital sensor. This sensor is connected to an imaging program on a computer that projects the image for easy viewing by Dr. Kathleen Hoye. The digital projection allows her to view your teeth more closely and with better accuracy than traditional dental X-rays. Better images mean that there is a greater chance that the dentist will spot potential problems and be able to fix them before they become more serious or possibly more painful. In addition to better accuracy, digital radiography produces 90 percent less radiation than regular film X-rays, granting peace of mind to those who take X-rays frequently.

Whichever treatment you’re receiving at our practice, from a regular check-up to dental implants, we will strive to provide you with the best service with up-to-date technology.
