Digital x-ray imaging at Far East Dental Clinic – modern, safe, accurate technology
Digital X-ray imaging at Far East Dental Clinic provides accurate dental diagnoses, reducing X-ray exposure by 50-80% compared to traditional film. This modern technology ensures absolute safety!
1. What is digital x-ray technology?
Digital radiography is an advanced diagnostic imaging method that uses digital sensors instead of traditional X-ray film. This technology allows for sharp, clear images of teeth, gums, and jawbone structures, helping dentists detect dental problems accurately and quickly.
Compared to traditional X-ray methods, digital X-rays offer outstanding advantages such as:
- Reduced X-ray exposure.
- High-quality images, easily enlarged for detailed observation.
- Faster procedures, shortening examination time.
- Better support for dentists in creating more precise treatment plans.
2. Types of digital x-rays in dentistry and their applications
There are two main types of dental X-rays:
- Intraoral X-rays: Provide detailed images to detect cavities, check tooth development, and assess bone condition.
- Extraoral X-rays: Used to detect impacted teeth, monitor jawbone development, and examine the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
Additionally, X-rays also support cases such as:
- Checking the condition of misaligned or impacted wisdom teeth.
- Assessing bone loss due to periodontitis.
- Monitoring orthodontic treatment and dental implant procedures.
- Detecting internal jawbone lesions, tumors, or other pathologies.
3. Advantages and safety of digital x-ray imaging
At Far East Dental Clinic, we understand that safety is always our customers’ top concern. Therefore, we implement measures to minimize X-ray exposure:
- Using digital sensors and PSP (photostimulable phosphor) plates, which reduce the amount of X-rays by 50-80% compared to traditional film.
- Applying the ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principle to minimize exposure to the lowest possible level.
- Setting up specific modes for children, ensuring appropriate X-ray doses for their age.
- Performing X-rays with the shortest possible time, minimizing contact time with X-rays.
- Using lead aprons and thyroid shields, providing the best protection for the patient.
