Dental Radiography - Digital X-rays

Making an accurate diagnosis is one of the most crucial elements in successful dental treatment. Our dental practice uses the latest dental X-ray equipment in order to achieve best possible images and diagnosis. The application of digital electronics in dental X-rays allows radiation level to be reduced no less than 90 % in comparison to traditional radiographs employing a photographic plate or film. A converted image is displayed on the computer screen after a few seconds and can be processed, which allows a dentist to shorten the duration of treatment and make a more precise diagnosis. Below there is a simplified description of taking intraoral X-rays:

   - first appointment: Your dentist places an RVG sensor in a positioning device and directs it close to the area of your teeth that is to be X-rayed. A few seconds after taking an exposure, an image is projected on the computer screen. Now your dentist makes a diagnosis and can continue your treatment.
