Digital X-Rays Are More Safe and More Effective

Being able to accurately identify and treat our patients is an extremely important process. This is why we choose to use the most advanced technology in our Del Rio, TX dental practice, Cadena Dentistry. Using digital x-ray allows us to do so much more than what was possible in the past.

Instead of taking the x-rays and having them developed in a dark room, the images are instantly displayed on our monitors. This allows us to instantly have a look at the condition of your mouth. This image is also able to be greatly enlarged on the computer screen. Since these images are digital, we can save them, print them, or email them if a second opinion is needed. Software on our computer can also help us detect changes in the x-ray that the naked eye may not be able to catch.

The safety of our patients is also extremely important to us. By choosing the digital x-ray, our patients are subjected to much less radiation than with a standard x-ray.

If you are due for your dental examination and are curious about the safety and what type of x-ray and other equipment we use here at Cadena Dentistry in Del Rio, TX, feel free to contact us. For more information, call (830) 775-3322 or visit our website, www.cadenadentistry.com.  

Digital Panorex X-Rays

We work hard to provide our patients with the most technologically advanced treatment options available. One of the best tools we utilize is the Digital Panorex system that takes incredible 360 degree images of your teeth, head, sinuses and bones. Our Del Rio, TX area patients are enjoying the benefits from having their periodontal issues caught earlier rather than later. By catching small issues before they become big problems, we are able to provide the best care possible.

 

With this technology, we are able to view the full structure of your head. This is great because we are now able to see any potential problems more clearly. We will also be able to see whether or not your mouth and jaw is functioning correctly. The Panorex is capable of viewing specific structural problems, infections and asymmetry any asymmetry in the area. 

 

If you haven’t had a Panorex X-Ray before, you’re going to be surprised how simple and safe it is. We’ll give you a lead apron to protect from the radiation (digital X-rays emit up to 80% less radiation than traditional systems), but you’ll be standing rather than sitting. A camera will rotate in a half circle around your head, starting at one side of the jaw and ending at the other. The imaging only takes a couple of seconds and the images are available immediately. Our staff does not need to wait for the images to print anymore, saving you time and also saving the environment.
