Digital X-Rays– Protecting Raleigh’s Health and Environment

So, what’s all the fuss about digital dental x-rays? And what is the big difference between digital and standard radiographs? There really is a big difference. First, the flexibility of digital x-rays far surpasses traditional film x-rays. Traditional x-rays were generally very small and viewed on a lightbox, while digital x-rays are viewed the size of a computer screen. Because they are digital, we can use the computer to enlarge, enhance and even colorize the images of your teeth. Even better, digital x-rays expose you to approximately 80% less radiation than traditional radiographs, and since we do not use chemicals to develop the film, digital x-rays involve fewer dangerous chemicals to harm the environment and less paper waste. Talk to us about how our digital dental x-rays can help both your health and your environment in Raleigh by calling 919-786-6766, or visit www.northhillsdentists.com for more information.
