Digital X-ray Technology

How Smiles By Design Reduces Radiation Exposure From Patient X-rays

Film x-rays have been used in dentistry for decades. In the past few years, many forward-thinking dentists like our doctors have invested in digital x-ray technology. Film x-rays cost a bit less than digital x-rays but long-term exposure to film x-rays can be very harmful to a patient’s overall health. Our digital x-ray uses as much as 85% less radiation than traditional x-ray technology.

Why Smiles By Design Invested In Digital X-ray Technology?

Digital x-rays are one of the most important new advances in our office. We are not only able to reduce your exposure to radiation but also increase diagnostic proficiency. In addition to increased diagnostics we reduce the number of harmful chemicals and other waste materials associated with traditional x-ray technology. The reduction in waste was a big consideration when deciding to invest in digital technology. We pride ourselves in being ‘green’ and environmentally responsible.
