Digital X-rays

Did you know that we use digital x-rays? 

      We have been using digital x-rays for the last year.  We made the change because digital x-rays use less radiation than film x-rays.  This is very important to our patients and to us.  Another big benefit of using digital radiographs is that we are able to look at these images on a larger scale and can zoom in or out depending on what we are trying to see. This helps us in our diagnosis.  Our patients love that they can see these images on the monitor as we are discussing treatment with them.  This is state-of-the-art technology and definitely better for the environment because they do not use chemicals to develop them.
