Digital X-rays

Digital X-rays in Fairport, NY

Digital X-rays are an advanced form of dental imaging that captures detailed pictures of your teeth, gums, and jaw using digital sensors. Unlike traditional film X-rays, digital X-rays provide immediate results, enhanced image quality, and significantly less radiation exposure.

Why Are Digital X-rays Important?

Digital X-rays are an essential part of preventive and diagnostic care, helping us detect cavities and decay early, identify bone loss or gum disease, assess tooth alignment and jaw structure, plan treatments like dental implants or root canals, and monitor the development of children's teeth.

Benefits of Digital X-rays

  • Lower Radiation Exposure — Up to 90% less radiation compared to traditional X-rays.
  • Immediate Results — High-resolution images appear instantly on our monitors for quick diagnosis.
  • Enhanced Accuracy — Detailed, zoomable images help us identify and address dental issues with precision.
  • Environmentally Friendly — Digital imaging eliminates the need for film and chemical processing.
  • Patient Education — We can show you the X-rays in real time, helping you understand your treatment plan.

How Digital X-rays Work

  1. Preparation — You'll be provided with a lead apron to protect your body from any minimal radiation exposure.
  2. Image Capture — A small digital sensor is placed in your mouth to capture images of your teeth and jaw. Fast and comfortable.
  3. Real-Time Review — The high-resolution images are displayed immediately on our computer screens, allowing us to evaluate your oral health and discuss any findings with you.

Are Digital X-rays Safe?

Yes! Digital X-rays are one of the safest imaging options available. They use significantly less radiation than traditional X-rays and are safe for children, adults, and pregnant women (when necessary precautions are taken).

Frequently Asked Questions

How Often Do I Need Digital X-rays?

The frequency of X-rays depends on your oral health history and current condition. Most patients benefit from X-rays once a year, but we may recommend more frequent imaging for specific concerns.

Do Digital X-rays Hurt?

No, the process is quick and painless. The digital sensor is designed to fit comfortably in your mouth.

“Awesome office! Awesome dentist! Awesome staff!”

“I switched dental providers because of insurance policy needs and I am so incredibly happy!... Dr. Adler did a very comprehensive evaluation of my teeth ... never before completed to that level...and he spotted areas of concern that my former dentist never caught. I am almost 79 years old and I have never experienced a dentist of his competence and skill! I'd recommend him to everyone... young and old!!”
