Digital X-rays
Digital radiography is similar in result to traditional X-rays but with the major benefit of reducing your exposure to radiation by 90% as well as being faster and more comfortable for you. The digital X-ray is produced by placing into your mouth a sensor that looks like a piece of film with a wire attached to it. This sensor is positioned according to what has to be X-rayed. The X-ray is taken and immediately a computer-generated image appears on a screen right before your eyes. Because these images are digital, they can be enlarged and enhanced. This provides the doctor with an even better and clearer picture with which to make a more accurate diagnosis.

Intraoral Camera
An intraoral camera is used to take pictures from inside your mouth and to project a magnified image of them onto a computer screen located right in front your dental chair. By using this, we are helped with diagnosis as it allows us to see things that are not easily or readily visible by eye vision alone – things like cracks, tooth wear, minute cavities and inflammation. Also, you can now see what the dentist is looking at, and thus you will be able to better understand your own dental conditions as well as the course of treatment being recommended by your dentist. This is a case where a picture is worth a thousand words.
