For many years, X-rays have been a useful diagnostic tool in dentistry, and they continue to improve. Digital x-rays are now more helpful, faster, and safer than ever. Digital x-rays are obtained in the same manner as traditional x-rays, but substantially less radiation is used due to the sensitivity of the digital film sensor.
Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) pictures are a game-changer in dentistry, and with recent advances in medical imaging, we can now capture 3D X-ray models of the mouth, teeth, and other structures. This is useful in so many aspects of dentistry.
They are created without the use of hazardous development agents. For many years, all our x-rays have been digital. They are scanned and saved on a computer, making them simple to preserve and send to you if necessary.
At Naenae Dental Clinic, we have invested in some of the best X-ray Technology available, which allows us to examine many aspects of your teeth, including the precise position of impacted wisdom teeth, spaces to plan for Implant Treatment, airway analysis for sleep apnoea, the temporomandibular (jaw) joint, and much more. We are happy to provide our patients with the most complete imaging equipment available to increase our capacity to diagnose properly.
