650-285-6999 At Richard S. Durando, DDS, we prioritize your oral health by utilizing the latest technology, including digital X-rays. This innovative approach allows Dr. Richard Durando and our team to provide accurate diagnoses and personalized treatment plans. Digital X-rays offer numerous benefits over traditional X-rays, ensuring a more comfortable and efficient experience for our patients.
Why Choose Digital X-Rays?
Digital X-rays are a cornerstone of modern dental care. They produce high-quality images that can be viewed instantly, allowing us to identify issues such as cavities, bone loss and other dental conditions with greater precision. The clarity of these images helps our dentist to detect problems early, leading to more effective and less invasive treatments.
One of the significant advantages of digital X-rays is the reduced radiation exposure. Traditional X-rays expose patients to higher levels of radiation, which can be a concern for many. Digital X-rays use up to 90% less radiation, making them a safer option for patients of all ages. This technology also eliminates the need for chemical processing, making it an environmentally friendly choice.
How Digital X-Rays Enhance Your Dental Experience
Using digital X-rays allows us to enhance your dental experience in several ways. The process is quick and comfortable, with sensors placed in your mouth to capture the images. These images are then displayed on a computer screen, where we can show you exactly what is happening with your oral health.
This real-time imaging capability fosters better communication between you and our dental team. We can explain your diagnosis and treatment options more clearly, ensuring you are fully informed about your dental care. Digital X-rays also facilitate more accurate record-keeping, allowing us to monitor changes in your dental health over time and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
