Digital X-Rays at Bright Smiles Dentistry & Orthodontics: Safer, Faster, and More Precise Imaging

At Bright Smiles Dentistry & Orthodontics, we are committed to using the most advanced dental technology available to ensure that you receive the highest level of care. One of the key tools we rely on is digital x-ray technology. By using digital sensors to capture detailed x-ray images, we are able to provide faster, safer, and more accurate diagnoses than ever before.

Our office uses the DEXIS Platinum Sensor, a top-tier digital radiography system known for its exceptional image quality and patient comfort. With this state-of-the-art system, we can offer unparalleled precision and safety while minimizing your time in the dental chair.

What Are Digital X-Rays?

Digital x-rays use electronic sensors to capture images of your teeth and surrounding structures, allowing us to visualize problems that may not be visible during a routine exam. Unlike traditional film-based x-rays, digital x-rays use significantly less radiation and provide instantly viewable images, streamlining the process and improving the quality of care.

Benefits of Digital X-Rays

Digital x-ray technology offers a variety of benefits for both patients and dental professionals, including:

• Safety: While traditional dental x-rays already use relatively low levels of radiation, digital x-rays reduce radiation exposure even further—by up to 90%. This makes them one of the safest imaging methods available in dentistry. With the DEXIS Platinum Sensor, you can rest assured that we are using the latest advancements in radiography to protect your health.
• Time Savings: With traditional film x-rays, developing the image took several minutes. In contrast, digital x-rays are instant. This means less time spent in the dental chair, allowing us to focus on diagnosing and treating your dental issues quickly.
• Superior Image Quality: The DEXIS Platinum Sensor provides the highest-quality images available, with clear, sharp, and detailed visuals that allow our doctors to identify even the smallest issues. This accuracy helps us detect potential problems early, improving treatment outcomes and saving you time and money in the long run.
• Improved Diagnosis: Thanks to the precision of digital x-rays, we can diagnose conditions much earlier than with traditional x-rays. By catching issues such as cavities, gum disease, or bone loss sooner, we can prevent more serious complications and help you maintain a healthy smile.

How Does the DEXIS Platinum Sensor Enhance Your Experience?

The DEXIS Platinum Sensor stands out from other x-ray sensors in several ways:

• Patient Comfort: The sensor is designed to comfortably fit in the mouth, reducing discomfort during the x-ray process. Its slim design makes it easier for patients to tolerate, especially for those with smaller mouths or a strong gag reflex.
• Low Radiation Exposure: The DEXIS system operates with patented technology that minimizes radiation exposure without compromising image quality. This ensures that you receive safe, high-quality care every time you visit.
• Crystal-Clear Images: The superior clarity of the images captured by the DEXIS sensor enhances our ability to detect issues that might be missed by lower-quality systems, leading to more accurate and timely treatment.

What Can Digital X-Rays Diagnose?

Digital x-rays are used to detect a wide range of dental issues, including:

• Cavities: Even small cavities that are not visible during a routine exam can be detected with digital x-rays.
• Gum Disease: X-rays allow us to see the bone levels around your teeth, helping us diagnose and monitor periodontal disease.
• Infections: Abscesses and other infections that affect the roots of your teeth or surrounding bone can be identified early with x-rays.
• Bone Loss: We can use x-rays to assess bone loss caused by gum disease, aging, or other factors.
• Developmental Issues: For younger patients, x-rays help us monitor tooth development and detect any potential issues with wisdom teeth or jaw growth.
