Understand Your Dental Health With Digital X-rays

Digital X-rays have been used as an alternative to film-based X-rays to help dentists detect various oral health issues. This dental technology in Mullica Hill, NJ, captures the X-ray images and processes them all on a computer, which can then be displayed to you – the patient!

What Are Digital X-Rays?

Offering a clear digital image of your smile, this technology can detect cavities, tooth decay, cysts, tumors, affected teeth, and the status of developing teeth. The image is sent directly to our dentist’s computer monitor, and we can then view it right there with you. The contrast and resolution of your X-ray can also be adjusted. Digital X-rays offer a comprehensive way to evaluate the entire inside of your mouth and develop a treatment plan.

Digital X-rays are useful because they offer:

• Early Detection: Our dentist can identify cavities, mouth infections, and other oral health issues before they escalate.
• Instant Results: While you’re chairside, our dentist will display your X-ray images to you from their computer monitor.
• Tailored Treatment Plan: Once the X-ray process is complete, we will discuss your personalized treatment plan and how it can accommodate and support your unique dental needs.
