Our dedication to offering unrivaled patient care at our Milton, Ontario, practice is paramount. With this in mind, we have equipped our office with state-of-the-art technology. Utilizing tools like digital X-rays and intraoral cameras, we ensure precise diagnostics and meticulous treatment planning, promising the finest care possible.
What are digital X-rays used for?
Digital X-rays play a crucial role in maintaining the well-being of your teeth and bones. They allow your dental practitioner to identify premature decay and gum infections while also analyzing bone quality and structure. X-rays also play an instrumental part in deciding the optimal location for dental implants. At times, these crucial imaging tools aid in preemptive care by uncovering potential dental health issues that cannot be seen with the naked eye during a physical examination.
Conventional methods of obtaining these images typically incorporate the use of x-ray film. This process, which you may be acquainted with, requires you to awkwardly clench the film with your teeth during the image capture. This seemingly inconvenient procedure also exposes you to radiation.
What are the benefits of digital dental x-rays?
The future of imaging technology is here with digital radiography, also called digital dental x-rays. This innovative system swaps traditional X-ray film for electronic sensors that capture superior images. The advantages of using digital X-rays are numerous:
- Expedited process. Digital radiographs eliminate the need for film development, making them faster and more efficient, possibly reducing appointment durations.
- Improved imagery. In contrast to traditional X-rays, digital images provide superior detail. They can be magnified, improved, superimposed with previous images, and utilized in treatment planning simulations, among other applications.
- Decreased radiation. Digital solutions can significantly lower patient’s exposure to radiation by up to 90 percent.
- Eco-friendly solution. By doing away with the use of films and their subsequent development, digital radiography eliminates waste, making it a more environmentally friendly option.
What are intra-oral cameras?
The visual evaluation of teeth and gums is a critical component of a dental check-up. The implementation of intraoral cameras has revolutionized this procedure. Gone are the days when the dentist’s sight was the only tool used to see the inside of your mouth. These compact cameras can effortlessly and noninvasively obtain comprehensive, high-resolution images of soft tissues and each tooth.
What are the benefits of intra-oral cameras?
- In-depth observation. Your teeth can be viewed from multiple perspectives, offering a holistic view of your dental health.
- High-resolution visuals. The human eye can miss minute details. Yet, with our superior, high-definition pictures, we can significantly magnify the images without losing the sharpness. This allows your dentist to scrutinize that minuscule spot and identify what it truly is.
- Learning for patients. If you are uncertain about terms like “minor cavity” or “gum recession,” you can now witness what your dentist observes.
