What are digital X-rays?

Digital radiography in Escondido, California is an essential diagnostic tool at Lifetime Smiles. Also referred to as digital X-rays, digital radiography is cutting edge dental technology that helps our skilled dental team detect and diagnose dental problems more quickly and accurately than ever before. Digital X-rays use nearly 80% less radiation than traditional film X-rays and are completely safe to use. Digital X-rays provide high-resolution, expandable images; these images are also immediately available on our computer screens so we can help you understand not only what treatments we want to offer, but why we feel they are necessary. We want you to feel confident with your dental care!
 

What are digital X-rays used for?
