Digital X-Rays

Digital X-rays are a great tool used by Dr. Stafford to accurately diagnose developing dental problems.

This technology produces high-quality images in a matter of seconds and emits 80-90% less radiation than traditional X-rays.

Digital radiography has changed the way we take dental X-rays by making the process faster, more comfortable, and more convenient than ever before. Digital X-rays use a digital sensor to take images of your teeth, unlike traditional X-rays that use film. Digital X-rays use significantly less radiation than conventional film X-rays, and they require the use of no chemicals for developing the images.

Our Midlothian dentist and team can then instantly view the high-quality images on monitors right in the treatment room to provide you with efficient, accurate diagnoses and care. 

Digital X-Rays identify and diagnose several types of dental problems, such as:

• Decay in between teeth
• Developmental abnormalities
• Improper tooth root positioning
• Cysts and abscesses
• Fractures in existing fillings
• Tumors
• Infection in the tooth nerves
• Bone loss

We may also use digital dental X-rays to plan certain kinds of dental treatment, such as oral surgery procedures, root canal treatment, dental implants, and more.
