Digital X-Rays at Bright Smiles Dentistry & Orthodontics: Safer, Faster, and More Accurate Imaging
At Bright Smiles Dentistry & Orthodontics, we are dedicated to using the latest dental technologies to ensure you receive the best treatment possible. One of the essential technologies we have started using is digital x-ray technology. In using digital sensors to create detailed x-ray images, we can provide a faster, safer, and more accurate diagnosis.

Our office uses the DEXIS Platinum Sensor. DEXIS is a top quality digital radiography system designed for exceptional image quality and patient comfort. It allows us to use 90 microns pixels for incredible detail and provides maximum precision and safety while minimizing your time in the dental chair.

Digital X-Rays: What Are They?

Digital x-rays benefit from computerized sensors to capture images of your teeth and surrounding structures which allows us to see problems that might go undetected in a normal office visit. Digital x-rays are different from traditional film-based x-rays in that they use much lower radiation levels and produce images that the doctor can view as soon as they are taken. This streamlined process reduces the overall time and improves the quality of care.

Safety

While traditional dental x-rays rely on radiation that is relatively low, digital x-rays even further lower the amount of radiation exposure potential by up to 90%. Digital x-rays are considered one of the safest forms of imaging in dentistry. You can be assured that, here at DEXIS with our DEXIS Platinum Sensor, we are making maximum efforts to employ the most advanced radiology available for your health.

Time Savings

With traditional film x-rays, after the x-ray was completed, the developing process took several minutes. Digital x-rays allow us to achieve an instant x-ray image. Digital x-rays reduce the amount of time you are spending in the dental chair, so we can focus on diagnosing and treating your dental issue(s) more readily.

Differentiated Image Quality Overall

The DEXIS Platinum Sensor will produce the highest quality images, as it provides clear, sharp and fine detail, so clear that our doctors can accurately diagnose the smallest of issues. This accuracy allows us to identify problems sooner, leading to improved overall treatment outcomes saving the patient more time and money.

Improved diagnosis with early detection.

Digital x-rays are so precise, that we can identify conditions far earlier than with traditional x-rays. By recognizing possibilities of cavities, gum disease, or bone loss soon, we can help prevent more serious complications and ultimately help you maintain a healthy smile.
