The Benefits of Digital X-Rays
By transitioning to a fully digital X-ray system, Nomad Wisdom Teeth can provide a vastly improved patient experience while capturing the clearest, most informative radiographic images possible. Key advantages include:
Higher Image Quality:
Digital X-ray images are significantly higher quality than film-based images. They have higher resolution and enhanced contrast and adjustment capabilities for superior visibility of internal oral structures.
Lower Radiation Exposure:
Digital X-rays utilize up to 90% less radiation than traditional film X-rays. This dramatically reduces patients’ radiation exposure and is particularly beneficial for children or patients requiring frequent X-rays.
Instant Image Display:
With digital X-rays, there’s no waiting—images are immediately viewable on a chairside monitor as soon as they are captured. We can instantly enlarge, enhance, and even colorize images as needed.
Efficient Storage & Transferring:
Digital images are easily organized, stored, and shared electronically, eliminating the hassles and physical storage of film packets. We can effortlessly transfer digital X-rays to other providers.
More Environmentally Friendly:
With no chemicals or film packets involved, digital X-rays are more eco-friendly and support our commitment to efficient, sustainable oral surgery practices.
The Digital Radiography Process
The digital X-ray process is simple, comfortable, and very similar to what you may have experienced with film-based X-rays – but with notable improvements:
- 1. Positioning the Digital Sensor: A thin digital sensor is placed inside your mouth to capture the desired images. Compared to stiff film packets, the sensors are more compact and comfortable.
- 2. Capturing the Digital Images: We use low-radiation X-ray beams to capture the digital sensor’s internal jaw and tooth images. With digital technology, fewer images may be required than if using film.
- 3. Instant Image Display: As soon as the X-rays are complete, crystal-clear digital images are displayed on our chairside monitors in seconds. Our team can zoom, adjust, and analyze the images in remarkable detail.
- 4. Review & Treatment Planning: You and your oral and maxillofacial surgeon can review the digital X-rays together, and they will explain their findings and recommendations for any necessary oral surgery treatment.
At Nomad Wisdom Teeth, we fully integrate digital X-ray imaging into the comprehensive oral surgery process – from initial diagnosis and treatment planning to monitoring your progress during follow-up visits.
