X-Ray Vision
Fun fact: it isn’t just your favourite superheroes that have x-ray vision! No, in fact, thanks to our state-of-the-art imaging equipment, we have it, too! Also known as dental radiographs, we take x-rays and digital photographs of your teeth and gums.
Digital x-Ray
When you come for your first visit, we give you a comprehensive examination which includes x-rays. This exam lets the dentist assess your teeth, one by one, very thoroughly. With the help of the x-rays, the dentist can see any problems that can’t be seen with the naked eye – cavities and bone loss, for example.
A complete dental prevention plan includes x-rays. Critical to maintaining your oral health, x-rays help us identify small problems before they become big ones. At Urbanview Dental, we focus on you, our patients, and your whole health. It’s why we choose digital x-rays – less radiation than traditional imaging methods.
Causing less patient exposure to radiation than other types of dental x-rays, digital x-rays reduce radiation by as much as 80%. Using neither film nor processing chemicals, digital x-rays provide the dentist with a clear image – almost immediately. The quality may not be better than film, yet many dental practices are making the switch to digital imaging technology so as to decrease patients’ exposure to radiation.
There are many benefits of digital x-rays, including:
Immediate results – within seconds
Convenient electronic storage
Simple digital transfer to yourself or a specialist clinic
Easy image enhancement to strengthen diagnosis
We assure you that you’re very safe in our hands!
