During your initial exam at Norton Family Dental, you will most likely see us capture digital X-rays of your teeth. These are safe for your health and allow you to be aware of the current state of your oral health. Give us a call today at 336-996-6551 to learn more about the benefits of digital X-rays in Kernersville, North Carolina, and schedule an appointment with our dentist, Dr. Ethan Norton.
Digital X-rays represent a modern approach to dental imaging, offering you a faster, safer and more comfortable experience. Unlike traditional film X-rays, digital radiography captures images using advanced sensors, providing clearer results while minimizing exposure to radiation. This technology eliminates the need for chemical processing, making it a more eco-friendly option for both patients and dental practices.
With digital X-rays, our dentist can instantly display high-resolution images on monitors in the treatment room, allowing for real-time diagnostics. This efficiency not only streamlines your appointment but also ensures that any issues are identified quickly, helping us develop effective treatment plans. Digital radiography helps us diagnose a variety of dental concerns, including:
- Tooth decay between teeth
- Developmental abnormalities
- Misaligned tooth roots
- Cysts and abscesses
- Cracks or fractures in existing fillings
- Tumors
- Infections within the tooth nerves
- Bone loss around teeth
Digital X-rays play an essential role in planning a wide range of dental procedures. Whether you are considering dental implants, orthodontic treatment, oral surgery or a root canal, this technology ensures precise imaging that supports optimal outcomes. By identifying issues early, we can help you maintain your oral health and prevent more serious complications.
At our practice, patient safety is always a priority. Digital X-rays use considerably less radiation than conventional film-based methods, ensuring that you receive the care you need without unnecessary risks. Our team is committed to using the latest technology to enhance your experience and provide the most accurate care possible.
