INTRODUCTION
A Safer Way to See Inside Your Teeth
Digital radiography has become a much more efficient, cost-effective, and even safer method of producing diagnostic images. While traditional X-rays are considered safe, digital X-rays produce 80% less radiation. Digital X-rays also provide a more transparent and precise image, resulting in better interpretation and diagnosis for our team at Balsam Dental in the Beaches neighbourhood.
HOW IT WORKS
From Sensor to Screen in Seconds
Instead of exposing film that has to be developed in a darkroom, digital X-rays use an electronic sensor placed inside your mouth. The image appears on a nearby monitor within seconds, letting the dentist review it with you right away and adjust treatment planning on the spot. The digital format also makes it easy to enhance, zoom in, and store the images in your patient record for future comparison.
80% Less Radiation
Digital X-rays expose you to about 80% less radiation than traditional film X-rays, making them safer for both children and adults, especially for regular check-ups.
Clearer, More Precise Images
The digital format produces a more transparent and precise image than film, helping the dentist spot decay, bone loss, and other issues that might be harder to see on a traditional X-ray.
Instant Results
Images appear on screen within seconds, so there's no waiting for film to develop. The dentist can review findings with you during the same visit and start planning treatment right away.
Better Diagnosis
Sharper images and digital enhancement tools support more accurate interpretation, which means better treatment decisions for your teeth, gums, and overall oral health.
