They help detect anomalies of your gums, teeth, detect abscesses, abnormal growths, etc. Digital X-rays have prevented the need for complicated procedures and have helped save and preserve the dental health as well as tooth structure of several patients. This state-of-the-art digital X-ray has revolutionized and enhanced dental care to the benefit of our patient's dental health.

Digital X-rays make use of electronic sensors to capture images. The captured images can be instantly transferred to a computer screen.

Many patients ask us if they are safe! You don't need to have such a doubt in mind. The advanced digital X-rays cut a large amount of radiation from being exposed to the patient as much as by 90 percent, which makes it safe and harmless as a diagnostic dental tool.
