Benefits of Digital X-rays

There’s a newer dental X-ray technique that is utilized here at Top Choice Dental and that is called Digital Imaging. Instead of developing film in a dark room like most dental X-rays, these ones are sent directly to a computer and can be viewed on screen, stored, or printed out. There are several benefits to using this technology and we will discuss them here.


Within this imaging program there are a number of tools that will allow Dr. Greg Fort to take a very close look at the teeth and surrounding structures with amazing accuracy. The image taken, of a tooth for example, can be enhanced and enlarged many times its actual size on the computer screen, making it easier for Dr. Greg Fort to show you where and what the problem is. In addition, the technique also uses less radiation than the typical X-ray (about 80% less) and there is no wait time for the X-rays to develop – the images are available on screen a few seconds after being taken.


To learn more about digital X-rays, give us a call or visit www.hoptowndental.com for more information. To schedule an appointment with Dr. Greg Fort at Top Choice Dental in Hopkinsville, KY, call 270-886-8585.
