Dental X-Rays for Noblesville, Carmel and Fishers, Indiana

With digital x-rays, the dentist inserts a sensor into your mouth to capture the digital images of your teeth. Here are some benefits to using digital radiography over traditional x-rays.

1. Shorter Appointments

Nobody likes to spend a long time at a dentist office. With traditional x-rays, you have to sit through the lengthy x-rays and then sit around waiting for the film to develop. With digital radiography, your x-rays are available almost instantly.

2. Less Radiation

The digital x-ray option is convenient for patients who would like the lowest radiation option available.

3. Higher Quality Images

With digital x-rays, your dentist can take an image, bring it up on a computer monitor and manipulate it. For example, your dentist can enlarge the x-ray for a better look or change the brightness and contrast, which allows your dentist to identify cavities that may not have been seen on a traditional x-ray.

4. Transferring Dental Records

Whether you need to see a specialist or surgeon or you decide to change your dental provider, transferring your dental records can be difficult with traditional x-rays. With digital x-rays, the digital files can be sent by email, allowing your new provider to review the information instantly.
